After the successful marketplace event with the Delhi-based Returning Experts in November 2013, the Competence in Motion Unit of GIZ India is again organising a similar Returning Experts Marketplace and Networking event in 2014– this time with Returning experts/ Returning Experts Alumni from all across India.

Objective of the event: The event aims to (a) establish a platform for GIZ colleagues and Integrated Experts to get to know the Returning Experts and their work; (b) facilitate networking among Returning Experts, Integrated experts, colleagues / experts /alumni from various GIZ and other German agencies in India focusing on development and research cooperation, in order that they can explore potential synergies in their respective line of work.

About the Returning Experts Instrument: The Returning Experts instrument is one of the cross-cutting services offered by GIZ/CIM. In India the programme is coordinated by the Competence in Motion Unit. The instrument supports the professional reintegration of Indian trainees, graduates and experienced professionals, who return from Germany to India, in order to apply their knowledge at organisations in Indo-German Development Cooperation areas and fields associated with a high multiplier effect, MDGs, Innovation, Brain Drain, R&D among others. Additionally, the instrument also supports local employers in India through placement of well-trained and highly qualified returnees.

Presenters: The presenters at the Marketplace include Returning Experts and Returning Experts Alumni in India, who are working with NGOs, Research Institutions, Think Tanks, Universities and Inter-Governmental Organizations. Over 15 Returning Experts working in the areas of Natural Resource Management, Energy, Sustainable Economic Development and Research Cooperation will present their work and contribution to their respective sectors and to the country as a whole.
