The Federal Science Policy Office is responsible for coordinating the preparation and the follow-up for the scientific section of the bilateral agreements for economic, industrial, scientific and technological cooperation which Belgium has concluded for already more than twenty years with a number of countries. The Federal Science Policy Office chairs the Belgian delegation at the regular meetings (about every 2 years) of the Mixed Committees for S&T cooperation where representatives of both countries examine the results of the bilateral cooperation and set together the course of future common projects.
Within this framework agreements, science policy acts as driving force for the overall relationships and the promotion of the commercial traffic between the concerned countries. The S&T cooperation can take various forms: information exchange, exploratory expert mission, common research and demonstration or valorization project.
Alongside co-ordination, moreover, the Federal Science Policy Office itself finance co-operation projects in their areas of competence, particularly projects involving space research or that are linked to subjects dealt with national research programmes or conducted by federal scientific institutions under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Science Policy.
In this way, they contribute to the international valorisation of this research and the transfer of know-how.

In the 19th Mixed Commission Meeting that was organised in Beijing on June 24th 2015, in the light of the State Mission, it was decided to launch an call for research proposals in marine sciences in relation to climate systems and/or with attention for earth observation where relevant. . A workshop on polar science took place in Shangai on 26th June 2015 in the framework of the MoU signed with SOA (State Oceanographic Administration).
A call for joint research proposals was launched on 21st December 2015.
The call was focussed on 2 domains:
- the role of oceans in the climate system
- earth observation
As a result of this call BELSPO the project OCeANIC is funded. Research teams of the ULg (coordinator), the VUB and the ULB are studying in this project the production of nitruous oxide and the nitrogen cycling in Southern Ocean sea ice and water column. The project is executed in cooperation with 2 Chinese research institutions (2017-2019)..
Moreover , in het framework of the STEREO progamme for earth observation the project HYPERMAQ is funded. The projects concerns hyperspectral high resolution remote sensing in aquatic environments. It is executed by the MUMM (RBINS) in cooperation with research teams from the UGhent and the VLIZ , with partners also from France, Argentinia and from China, the last one via the bilateral cooperation channel.

On 29th September 2015 the 4th meeting of the Mixed Commission for research and technology took place in Delhi; the meeting was organised in the light of the Mixed Commission meeting for economic cooperation.
In the meeting it was decided to launch a 3rd joint call for networking (by topping up) .
In 2016 an assesment was made of the networking projects from the call 2012. We concluded that with limited resources for 'networking' the following results were achieved:
a consideralbe scientific return via a high number of co-puclications
good exchange of knowledge, of expertiences and of scientific data , as well as a quite high number of exchanges of experts, be it young researchers our senioir promotors
selection, via conferences or workshops in Belgium or in India, of some post-doctoral fellowships for further cooperation among the institutes
broadened networking with other Belgian or Indian teams working in the same scientific field
On 30 March 2016 the Prime Ministers of both countries have virtually started , in Brussels, the activity of the ARIES 3.6 optical telescope installed in the mountains of Nevasthal.
