About ConnectING
ConnectING is a digital portal designed to showcase Indo-German research cooperation. An initiative of the DWIH New Delhi and the DAAD Regional Office New Delhi, the portal aims to provide visibility, access, and a central point of reference for anyone interested in gaining an overview of Indo-German research and innovation cooperation.
It showcases ongoing research collaborations, presents information on funding programmes, and provides a space where institutions and researchers from India and Germany can connect directly.
The portal features a growing, non-exhaustive database of research cooperation projects, contributed voluntarily by institutions and researchers engaged in bilateral collaboration. It includes interactive features that allow users to explore projects on a map or filter them by research field, location, funding institution, and duration.
In addition, ConnectING offers an overview of funding programmes that support academic mobility, joint research, and institutional partnerships between India and Germany. The database highlights schemes offered by German, Indian, and European/EU organisations, making it easier to identify suitable opportunities.
