50 Years of Indo-German Cooperation in Science and Technology, May 21-22, 2024
Welcome to the GSI / FAIR event with friendly support of the Federal Minsitry of Education and Research. We are happy to welcome outstanding scientists and representatives of Indo- German collaboration from both sides in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of signing the Indo-German Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement.
During these two days we are pleased to discuss with you the past and future of this vibrant cooperation in various fields of science and to present successful programmes and projects to build on for the future.
What better scenery than FAIR as a globally unique large-scale research facility which is currently under construction at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. An international consortium of partners is joining forces to make this pos-sible. India is an important partner of FAIR. Having this in our minds, we would like to honour the long-standing and trusting cooperation and the outstanding results of Indo-German science and research with our Indian partners.
Agenda
In the run-up to the event, a scientific exchange organised by the BMBF will take place in four working groups on 21 May in the afternoon. The agendas of the working groups can be found in the respective section of this website.
