SASNET participated in a brain storming/awareness raising workshop on
”Contemporary India Study Centres in Europe: Status & Further Developments” that was held in Paris on Monday 2 March 2009.
The Paris meeting, organised by Sciences Po/CERI (Center for International Studies and Research), was intended to study the current situation of Indian/South Asian studies prevailing in different countries of Europe. Representatives of South Asian studies institutions and networks in UK, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Denmark and Sweden were therefore invited to discuss the issue in Paris. The Delhi based team leader of the India-EU Study Centres Programme, Mr. Ulrich Podewils presented the programme, along with Prof. Balveer Arora, former Rector, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. The meeting was presided over by Prof. Christophe Jaffrelot, Sciences Po/CERI. SASNET was represented at the Paris meeting by both Lars Eklund and Stig Toft Madsen.

Prospective European and Indian institutions are welcome to apply for this selection. A Call for Proposals was later announced at the project web site. The selection process should be completed during 2009 and support (EUR 300 000 per year) provided from 2010. The deadline for submission of full applications was 10 July 2009.
