Abstract
India and Germany, as a mark of 60 years of diplomatic relations between them, hosted year-long programmes in their respective countries during 2011–2012. To strengthen the relationship further, a Year of Germany in India was organised under the motto ‘Infinite Opportunities—Germany and India 2011–2012’ with the theme, ‘StadtRäume—CitySpaces’. In this purview the International Humboldt Kolleg convened by Sunil Nautiyal was held at the Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bangalore, with the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation towards strengthening the future research collaboration between Germany and India.
