The latest Newsletter of the Heidelberg Centre South Asia (HCSA) was just released (here). The HCSA was inaugurated by the Rector (Vice Chancellor) of Heidelberg University, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Eitel, on 17th November 2009.  It has emerged out of the long standing presence of Heidelberg University's South Asia Institute (SAI) in New Delhi. By establishing the HCSA, the university seeks to enhance academic cooperation with South Asia beyond the regional studies context to include all faculties of the university.
The HCSA staff coordinates existing research cooperation and exchange of students and faculty between Heidelberg University's faculties and centres and their numerous South Asian partner institutions, facilitates the initiation of new cooperative endeavors, councils students from South Asia and Heidelberg who plan to study abroad, assists faculty in the assessment and recruitment of applicants, showcases excellence in research and teaching at Heidelberg University, and builds sustainable networks. It is part of the network of European research institutions in South Asia.
