2wA vital progressive step in this direction !! Indo-European cooperation has sown the seed for several collaborative initiatives that have proven highly beneficial for the Indian researchers in the past vide various funding mechanisms (through CEFIPRA programs including PROWIS, Ramam-Charpak Fellowship, and the like) leading to some long lasting relationships. Enhanced mobility programs for researchers, joint academic programs and research projects in emerging technologies and streamlined research funding mechanisms could further deepen these ties fostering innovation and knowledge exchange to address global challenges in healthcare, renewable energy and AI effectively.
