India-EU Cooperation

Last year, the European Union and India celebrated 55 years of diplomatic relations. EU-India cooperation now spans many areas, including research and innovation. India is a growing market constantly looking for new ways to innovate and make use of new technologies and therefore cooperation on Modelling and Simulation has many benefits for both the EU and India.
