STRENGTHENING EU–INDIA COLLABORATION IN RESEARCH AND INNOVATION 🇪🇺🤝🇮🇳
The European Research Day 2025, held on 17th October 2025 in Bhubaneswar, brought together more than 200 participants — including PhD scholars, postdoctoral researchers, startups, and academicians from leading institutions across Odisha and beyond. Organized in partnership with KIIT University and Bhubaneswar City Knowledge Innovation Cluster Foundation (BCKIC), the event provided an enriching platform for researchers to explore collaborative opportunities between India and the European Union.
Participants engaged directly with representatives from Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, and the Netherlands, who presented pathways for bilateral cooperation, mobility programs, and funding opportunities under HorizonEU. The sessions also highlighted the vital role of EURAXESS India in supporting research mobility and facilitating EU–India partnerships for career development in Europe.
A big thank you to Mr. Pierrick Fillon-Ashida and Dr. Vivek DHAM for bringing this insightful event to Bhubaneswar. We look forward to deepening collaborations and creating more opportunities that connect Indian researchers with the global research ecosystem.
