Research projects were one of IGCS’ supporting pillars and are reflected by numerous workshops, meetings, and project proposals. Cooperation in research projects went beyond the IGCS partner universities and we regularly worked together with various German and Indian institutions.

With IGCS acting as a science hub and meeting place for Indo-German research on sustainability topics, it has ignited joint projects and significantly enhanced cooperation between Indian and German research institutions.
