Welcome to the Forum for Indo German
Science Cooperation!
2009 was a very good year for the
scientific cooperation between India and Germany.
2010 has also begun on an interesting note. The German Federal President
Dr. Horst Koehler visited India in the beginning of February. An
important part of the agenda was the inauguration of the Indo-German Max
Planck Centre for Computer Science, together with the Indian S&T
Minister Prithiviraj Chavan. Set up jointly by the Department of Science
and Technology, Govt. of India and the Max Planck Society, Germany, the
centre will receive a total funding of around 4 million Euros over the
next five years. In February, the 3rd Indo-German Conference on Science
for Sustainability was also organised at IIT based on the Joint
Declaration on Research Cooperation on Science for Sustainability signed
by the then Indian S&T Minister Kapil Sibal and German Minister for
Education and Research Annette Schavan in September 2008.
The Indo-German Science and Technology Committee Meeting, held every 18
months alternately in India and Germany was organised in March 2010 in
New Delhi. Both sides were represented by the State Secretaries and
their respective delegations comprising of officials and scientists.
As in the past, through our Newsletter our team will keep you updated on
the activities of the Embassy and with news on Indo-German Science
Cooperation. We value your feedback and look forward to your
