Last week on 15. November 2024, the IGCS team came together in #Berlin to reflect on a remarkable journey as we near the end of our current funding period in December 2024.
Over the years, we have accomplished so much together: carrying out joint research projects, teaching at German and Indian universities, individual exchanges as well as summer- and winter schools and workshops that bridged disciplines, and supported over 100 scholars, driving research collaborations and innovation in sustainability. It was a heartfelt experience to revisit memories, celebrate our collective achievements, and acknowledge the dedication of everyone who contributed to making this partnership a success.
As this chapter closes, we eagerly look forward to the next phase of Indo-German collaborations in sustainability. This partnership has shown how shared visions can lead to impactful outcomes, and we remain committed to nurturing these bonds to address pressing global challenges.
