On Thursday 24 June 2010 an India Day was held in the Research Beehive at Newcastle University. This event was organised by Newcastle University with sponsorship from One North East.
The purpose was to bring UK researchers together to share contacts, opportunities and best practice with academics who already had collaborative links with Indian partners. Designed to reach those interested in developing links with India, the event alerted researchers to the wide range of funding opportunities for facilitating links with Indian partners, and also demonstrated how researchers could identify potential Indian partners and what practical support was available.
The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), India, in collaboration with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), UK, jointly invite outline bid proposals for research on the changing water cycle in South Asia. The deadline is 16:00 GMT on 3 September 2010. Rebecca Fairbairn, the UK's Head of Science and Innovation, South India has asked us to circulate this new funding opportunity to all the attendees at India Day.

British Library Conference Centre, St Pancras, London - 13-14 September 2010. This major international conference marks the culmination of the AHRC-funded project, ‘Making Britain: South Asian Visions of Home and Abroad, 1870-1950’, led by the Open University in collaboration with the University of Oxford and King's College, London. ‘Bharat Britain’ will showcase new research from distinguished scholars, curators and writers worldwide. Held in partnership with the British Library, it will explore the manifold ways in which South Asians impacted on the formation of Britain’s cultural and political life prior to Independence and Partition in 1947.
