The India-Spain Joint Call for R&D&I Projects 2024 seeks to promote market-driven research and technology development through collaborative R&D projects between Indian and Spanish organizations. Launched by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Centre for the Development of Technology and Innovation (CDTI), the call encourages partnerships between Indian commercial companies and Spanish entities. Indian applicants must be for-profit companies registered under Indian law, with at least 51% Indian ownership, and must demonstrate a proven infrastructure or proof of concept. Spanish participants must include at least one company, and participation from research institutions is allowed. Funding will be provided by DST-TDB for Indian participants and CDTI for Spanish participants, with specific funding limits and eligibility criteria. The funding is based on a 50% contribution by DST for Indian applicants, with the total project cost being matched equally by the Indian industry. The funding structure supports expenses such as equipment, manpower, consumables, and travel, with exact amounts subject to evaluation.
