DBT Global Innovations (International Cooperation)
Funds Umbrella for and DBT bilateral and multilateral co-funded research partnerships with counterpart agencies in Europe North America Australia and beyond.
DBT Global Innovations, or International Cooperation, is the Department of Biotechnology's umbrella for bilateral and multilateral research partnerships. It sits under DBT and links Indian biotech researchers with counterpart agencies in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, Canada, and other international partners. The portfolio covers co-funded grant programmes across vaccine development, circular economy, antimicrobial resistance, climate-smart agriculture, AI-enabled digitisation, and One Health. Partners named in the record include DFG, NWO, Vinnova, BBSRC/UKRI, SNSF, BELSPO, DIIS, IC-IMPACTS, the Gates Foundation through Grand Challenges India, and Wellcome Trust/India Alliance through BRCP Phase III. Multilateral links also run through the EU, BRICS, G20, HFSP, and EMBO. This is not a single open call but a set of joint calls with its own cadence, usually annual or ad hoc depending on the partner. Applicants need to target the specific bilateral or multilateral route rather than the umbrella label, because the underlying programmes are where eligibility, review, and funding details are set.
