India-EU COOPERATION ON RESEARCH & INNOVATION (R&I) DBT ANNOUNCES CO-FUNDING PARTNERSHIP UNDER THE EU FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME ON R&I ‘HORIZON EUROPE’ CALLS 2023-2024

Collaboration in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) plays an increasingly important role in the EU-India Strategic Partnership. In line with the EU-India Strategic Partnership: A Roadmap to 2025, and the Joint Science and Technology Steering Committee meeting on 12 February 2021, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), has identified calls for proposals in the Work programmes 2023-2024 of the EU R&I Research and Innovation Programme ‘Horizon Europe’, which it considers of mutual interest and aiming at jointly tackling global challenges. For this, DBT has established a mechanism outlining the conditions upon which it will co-fund the successful Indian entity/ies and in which call topics (hereafter CoFunding Mechanism or CFM).

Eligibility: Eligibility of Indian entities is defined by DBT. 7 Since the Indian entity is not receiving funding from the EU under Horizon Europe, it is not required to sign the EU Grant Agreement. It will participate as “Associated Partner” and mentioned as such in Article 9.1 of the EC grant Agreement. This means that the Indian entity is expected to contribute to the smooth implementation of the project as specified in the consortium agreement
