The French Institute / IFI (Institut français India) is a section of the Embassy of France responsible for promoting and nurturing people-to-people ties between France and India. IFI performs numerous functions: from promoting academic and scientific exchanges between institutes of higher learning and research to enabling student mobility and promoting the French language. We also foster links between artists, scientists, NGOs, professors, enterprises, film professionals, publishers and more. We support partnerships in research and innovation, capacity building and interactions with civil society, vocational studies, as well as artistic and cultural partnerships in performance, books, film, fashion, design and more. We support and organise forums and debates that bring together innovators and thinkers from both countries.
