Integrated Research Oriented Training Network in Life Sciences through Interdisciplinary Approaches.

Selected amongst a shortlist of  8 projects, the final Biosantexc proposal "Integrated research-oriented training network in life sciences through interdisciplinary approaches"  is to be submitted this Friday, September 30.  The consortium consists of the 4 French Écoles Normale Supérieures, the 6 Indian Institutes of Science, Education and Research (IISER) and 4 other Indian research institutes in medicine and life sciences. Results are expected to be announced at the end of October.

On this occasion, the ENS of Lyon represented the four French ENS which were pre-selected in the framework of their project in consortium with the IISER and the NCCS.

The first edition of Knowledge Summit was held in March 2018. It was organized on the occasion of the State visit of the President of the Republic in India and inaugurated by Mrs. Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation which helped to establish the roadmap for Franco-Indian cooperation for the coming years, in partnership with companies.

Education and human exchange constitute an essential dimension of the partnership between France and India. Collaborations in higher education, research and innovation lead the priorities of the third edition of Bonjour India, which culminates with the first Indo-French Knowledge Summit.

Visit from October 4th to 5th, 2016
