India Forum

The Institute of Political Science and Sociology maintains close contact with India. The India Forum has arisen from numerous activities. Its members and their Indian partners participate in research projects, organize events and issue publications.

The India Forum regularly welcomes Indian visiting lecturers to Würzburg. This relationship is however not one-sided. Academics from Würzburg also travel to India, both staff from the Institute and students from our Master’s program.
