About Us

Forum for Indian Studies or FIS is a platform to boost sustainable Indo-European ties in trade, technology and social development. FIS focuses on building new, strengthening existing partnerships and sharing know-how; by commissioning studies, conducting and providing specialized research, gathering intelligence in the field of industry, technology, education and social innovation between government and non governmental institutions, universities and academics, industries, researchers et cetera between India and the European Union. 

Who we are

The present FIS started as an informal network of Indo-Spanish organisations working on projects in 1999.

This collaboration and networking resulted into exemplary success for both Indo-Spanish partners. To address the need for a platform that could meet the requirement for other organisations- governmental and non-governmental, universities, researchers, FORUM FOR INDIAN STUDIES was established.

Finally, in January 2007, a group of organizations from various governmental and non governmental organizations, primarily Spanish and Indian, decided to join their efforts and share their experiences by formalising their commitment to work together. This initiative resulted in the creation of the Forum for Indian Studies. This Forum is based on a signed agreement which aims to provide European governmental, non governmental organisations, universities, researchers and individuals with an opportunity to understand and learn about the past, current and future economic, social and cultural aspects regarding business opportunities in India.
