THE EU AND INDIA | CALL FOR JOINT RESEARCH COLLABORATION
Call for Joint Research Collaboration between Consortiums of think tanks, universities, political foundations and research institutes from India and the EU.
India and the European Union (EU), as long-standing partners are committed to dynamic dialogue in all areas of mutual interest as major actors in their own regions and as global players on the world stage. The world’s two largest democracies share key values and principles such as freedom, the rule of law, human rights, and the promotion of peace and stability.
EU-India relations cover many areas, including cooperation on regional, global and security issues, close trade and economic ties, sectoral dialogues on sustainable development and modernisation, research and innovation as well as people-to-people contacts.
In this scope, the EU-India Think Tanks Twinning Initiative (TTTI) was launched with the support of the European Union in 2015, with a view to promoting better understanding and stimulating joint research between the Indian and EU think tanks. The initiative feeds into the EU-India strategic relationship by suggesting concrete ideas and recommendations on how the EU and India can further strengthen their cooperation in the fields of foreign and security policy and global governance.
