Torsten Fischer, DFG India

Dr. Torsten Fischer, Director, DFG India, Bangalore, Karnataka. Two Indian groups in collaboration with two European groups. We received 40 applications as we expected only four. This is very remarkable as each application is drafted by four group members. Enough potential is required for systematic collaboration for more than two years. Applications came from all parts of India and also from SriLanka countries. For a systematic collaboration we need enough funds. This is a challenging collaboration with the ecological survey of India.
