INTRODUCTION This guide provides an overview of funding opportunities for researchers, students and companies with particular interest in mobility or collaboration between India and Denmark. The guide contains information about funding schemes for mobility, research, innovation and export. The guide aspires to cover all relevant funding sources for mobility, research, innovation and export from the Danish Government for Indo-Danish collaboration. It also covers Nordic and European funding schemes for research collaboration that explicitly target India, as a criterion of eligibility, as an encouragement or a possibility. The funding guide is organised in five main chapters. Chapter 2 gives a brief account of the history of Indian-Danish research and innovation cooperation, the current focus areas as well as less explored areas with potential for increasing collaboration. The subsequent chapters 3 to 6 outline different types of funding opportunities. Chapter 3 covers Danish mobility schemes, scholarships and fellowships for academics in different positions, presented under subheadings for Master, PhD, Post doc levels and faculty staff. It includes a number of general schemes that are open for Danish researchers and higher education institutions to apply. Chapter 4 covers collaborative research schemes specifically aimed at strengthening international cooperation. Chapter 5 covers schemes relevant for Danish businesses interested in exploring opportunities in India. Chapter 6 covers mobility schemes from the Indian Government.
