This edition of the conference focussed on the diverse aspects of cooperation projects and partnerships. During 4 sessions, 3 panel discussions and 1 speed presentation, with more than 25 speakers, the discussions focussed on different models and insights into the cooperations addressing international bilateral, multilateral, interinstitutional cooperations, strategic partnerships and working in consortia between Europe and South Asia. The quality of the presentations by Indian state universities during various sessions were very good.

In various sessions the speakers presented best practices on partnership programs and consortia, funding for cooperation projects, measurement of impact of cooperation and establishing double and joint degree programmes.

During the panel discussion on structured exchange programmes, representatives from universities in India and Germany gave their insights about the opportunities and challenges arising from structural differences in the higher education systems while setting up semester exchange, dual/double degree and joint degree programs. As India is currently focussing on Double Degree programmes, it is a good opportunity for the institutions in India and Germany for such cooperation projects.
