  • Mobility of students, academics and researchers, and migration for professional and economic reasons;
  • Exchanges of young professionals and joint action in favor of such exchanges;
  • Mobility for skilled Indian nationals with a project of an economic, scientific, technological, cultural or humanitarian nature, that is likely to make a significant contribution to the development of relations between the two countries, in accordance with the UK immigration rules;
