India and EU finish talks on Horizon Europe research participation

The story in brief

India’s science ministry announced the outcome on 7 November. The talks cover the programme’s second pillar, which supports joint research in fields including health, digital technology, energy and mobility.¹³ Indian organisations can already take part in many Horizon Europe projects, but generally bring their own funding. The ministry says association would give Indian research teams, universities and companies wider access to funding calls and European project partners.¹²

Context: A research team planning a joint proposal should check the rules of the individual funding call. The completion of talks does not itself change who can receive money under a current call.¹²
