The European Union and India have initiated collaborative efforts to address environmental challenges and drive technological advancements. Under the EU-India Trade and Technology Council, research initiatives with a total investment of Euro 41 million are set to combat marine pollution and work on waste-to-renewable hydrogen technologies. These projects involve researchers, start-ups, and industries from both regions to develop sustainable solutions with global impacts. The first research call targets marine pollution, emphasizing innovative solutions to monitor and mitigate pollutants like microplastics and heavy metals. The second call focuses on developing cost-effective and eco-friendly methods for hydrogen production, recognizing hydrogen's role in clean energy transition and climate objectives. The EU-India partnership aims to strengthen trade, technology, and innovation ties, promoting shared democratic values and inclusive economic development. This collaboration underscores a strategic and longstanding research and innovation partnership between the EU and India, signaling a positive outlook towards environmental sustainability and green technology advancement.
