• A Scientific Conference:  where researchers involved in the New INDIGO Partnership Programme, bilateral and FP7-funded projects will be invited to present the results of their collaborative work, discuss their latest research developments and reflect upon their cooperation.
• A “Networking Café”: where researchers and companies will have the possibility to meet other participants of their interests in pre-arranged face-to-face meetings, providing them with an opportunity to create and foster new collaborations.
• A Poster session: where talented young scientists will be invited to display their posters.
• Technology facilitation and support event: where European organisations will be enabled to licence, sell or transfer unutilised or underutilised technologies to Indian organisations thereby promoting technological collaboration.

You will also learn about:

• Funding opportunities in the EU (focus on Horizon 2020) and India including bilateral programmes.
