"The higher education and research fair (March 10 and 11) will see participation from 10 consortium members of DWIH New Delhi. This presence will include leading German universities, research funding organisations and educational institutions," a German consulate in Kolkata said.

These institutions will set up info-stands to disseminate all necessary information required by students, scientists or researchers to pursue their careers in Germany.

The programme will also include various discussions and lectures conducted by German institutions represented under the umbrella of DWIH New Delhi.
