UK-India Education and Research Initiative has issued a call inviting proposals on Thematic Partnerships in
all fields of Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences and Science and Technology

The UK India Education
and Research Initiative (UKIERI) started in April 2006 with the aim of
enhancing educational links between India and the UK. In the last five years,
UKIERI has played a pivotal role in establishing a step change in the education
relations between the two countries.
In recognition of the substantial
achievements and building on the success of this initiative, the programme has
been extended for another 5 years from 2011 to 2016. Under the programme,
the UGC and UKIERI invite proposals for 2012 in all subjects from the

permission to commit institutional resources) and sent to the UKIERI
