EU-India Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement

India with its 1.1 billion population and the EU with its almost 500 million representing the two largest democracies in the world, share many common values and ideals that make them natural partners in the modern world. Both India and the EU believe in unity in diversity.

Within the context of the rapid internationalisation of science and of technology, the EU and India have decided to significantly increase their S&T collaboration. This “new climate” of S&T Cooperation was underlined at the India-EU Ministerial Science Conference (New Delhi 7-8 February 2008), providing new opportunities for promoting a strong, vibrant and strategic partnership.

Formal collaboration in Science and Technology (S&T) with India started with the signature of the European Community-India Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement on 23 November 2001. The agreement is implemented by the Directorate-General for Research for the European Commission and by the Department of Science and Technology for the Government of India.

S&T plays an important part in the EU-India Strategic Partnership. The Joint Action Plan which was drawn up for implementing this partnership contains a number of action points which have important S&T dimensions. The significance of EU-India cooperation in S&T has also been highlighted at the highest political level. The Joint Statement of the EU-India Summit held in Helsinki on 13 October, 2006 states that: “The EU and India recognise the critical role of science and technology (S&T) in striving towards their respective knowledge-based economies and the mutual benefits of further strengthening joint research and S&T cooperation.

In the Summit in New Delhi on 30 November 2007, the leaders, in recognition of the critical role of science and technology in striving towards their respective knowledge-based economies, expressed their satisfaction with the outcome of the India-EU Ministerial Science Conference from 7-8 February, 2007. Within the framework of the India-EU S&T Cooperation Agreement which was renewed during the Summit, the leaders stated that they would welcome strengthened partnership initiatives such as joint projects with co-investment of resources in selected fields of mutual priority. The two sides agreed to explore bilateral cooperation on space policies and programmes including global satellite navigation."

The Conference has set the tone for future cooperation. The most significant recommendations of the Conference were the establishment of joint nodes for networking innovation systems, efforts towards creation of joint infrastructure for advanced research and funding systems for symmetric programmes for promotion of S&T collaboration.

The “New Delhi Communiqué”, issued at the end of the Ministerial Conference, and co-signed by the Conference Co-chairs, underlined the importance of a strong science and knowledge base as a major prerequisite for competitiveness, and the strong role of international S&T collaboration. It confirmed that the S&T cooperation between the EU and India should be based on the principles of symmetry, reciprocity, mutual benefit and, where appropriate, the co-investment of resources in joint actions. The Ministers and their representatives recognised that important “windows of opportunity” existed for a significant increase in the breadth and depth of EU-India S&T cooperation, especially through the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for Research and Technological Development 2007-2013 and India’s 11th Five Year Plan.

One new feature of EU-India S&T relations is the launch of coordinated calls for proposals. India and the EU committed themselves to spending €5 million each every year on joint research in areas of mutual benefit. Consequently, two Coordinated Calls for Proposals have been launched so far. The first such call, launched with the Department of Science and Technology on computation materials science, attracted 25 proposals, of which six are funded. The Second Coordinated Call, launched with the Department of Biotechnology, with co-funding of €3 million each on food, health and well being, again attracted 25 proposals, of which two are funded. Topics for future coordinated calls for proposals include research in energy, health and the environment.

Through the 7th Framework Programme (FP7), the main programme for European Union science and technology funding, researchers in India are eligible to participate in European research projects (for example the COOPERATION programme) and mobility schemes (for instance Marie Curie fellowships under the PEOPLE programme).

In FP7, already some 130 Indian research organisations receive funding in over 90 projects. The cost of these projects is over €317 million with the Indian partners receiving over €17 million.
