India Agrees to Join Europe's Major Research Programme Horizon Europe
Published
India has agreed to join Horizon Europe, the European Union's research and innovation programme. The programme has a budget of 93.5 billion euros, which makes it one of the largest research funding schemes in the world. With this agreement, Indian scientists, universities and companies can take part in joint projects with partners across Europe.
Horizon Europe supports work in many fields, including health, climate, clean energy, digital technology and space. Through the programme, researchers can apply for grants, share knowledge and work together on new ideas. Joining the scheme means that Indian institutions will be able to compete for funding and build long-term partnerships with European research centres.
The agreement is part of a wider effort by the EU to bring more countries into its research network. India has now become one of the latest countries to make this agreement. Officials have not yet given full details about how the arrangement will work in practice, including the exact rules for participation and funding.
For students and researchers in India, the deal may open new opportunities to study, work and collaborate abroad. It also strengthens scientific ties between India and Europe at a time when many countries are investing in research and innovation.
