Brief Description

SARASWATI 2.0 is a four-year Horizon 2020 project jointly funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement nº 821427 and by the Department of Science and Technology (DST)/Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India. The project finds its framework under the call topic: SC5-12-2018 EU-India water co-operation. It builds on previous EU-India projects, in particular on the SARASWATI project that was implemented from 2012 to 2017.
