New INDIGO - Initiative for the Development and Integration of Indian and European Research

The ERA-NET New INDIGO aims to reduce the fragmentation of the European Research Area with India by increasing coordination between national research programmes across the EU Members, Associated States and India. ERA-NET actions allow Member States, Associated States and third countries to avoid overlap between their programmes and to develop expertise from mutual learning. ERA-NET actions will result in concrete cooperation between research programmes, such as their networking, their mutual opening and the development and implementation of joint programmes and activities.

 New INDIGO is being funded by the European Commission for a duration of four years, starting from January 2009.
