Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC)

The Centre was established in 2011, jointly by DST, GoI, New Delhi and Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Germany and is registered as a Society under Societies Registration Act. The Centre was created to promote innovation through Indo-German R&D networking under PPP mode. It aims at catalysing innovative R&D projects by exploiting R&D strength of research and academic institutes and industries from both India and Germany through its flagship programme ‘2+2 Mode of Partnership’. Presently both Indian and German governments contribute financially each year for funding collaborative R&D through IGSTC. Under IGSTC, 7 projects have been completed under PPP mode.
