Under the framework of Bonjour India, the Institut français en Inde is pleased to present The Future Tour – a series of thematic rendezvous between scientists, academics, companies and students from India and France focusing on areas of common priorities of India and France. The aim is to strengthen the partnerships through education, training, research and innovation.
Each Future Tour consists of two days of intense exchange.
- One day is dedicated to bring together scientist, academics, faculties and companies to create new opportunities and leverage our strengths to foster partnerships. In addition, it gives enterprises both French and Indian, a platform to express their needs in a rapidly changing economy of India.
- Another day is dedicated for students to learn about study opportunities, the French higher education system and industrial exposure in the specific domain of priorities. It also provides an opportunity to meet one-onone with the representatives from the French institutions and industries to understand industrial needs.
In continuity of the Future Tour, the Knowledge Summit –first high level Indo-French Summit on Higher Education & Research will lay out the roadmap for Indo-French collaboration for the next decade based on the recommendations of the Round Tables discussions held during each Future Tour.
