Introduction

The Joint Indo-German Academy towards Sustainability in Engineering, Education and Entrepreneurship (JInGAS) deepens the long-standing cooperation of BITS Pilani and TU Braunschweig. Sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the project develops joint education formats on the topics of sustainability and Industry 4.0 in engineering as well as education and entrepreneurship. Over the project duration of 4 years, the exchange of scientists and students will be promoted. The core of the exchange is the follow-up and extension of the seminar Indo-German Challenge for Sustainable Production. Awareness of global sustainability challenges will be raised and the network of partners from science and industry will be consolidated and expanded.
