RCB was established by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India under the auspices of UNESCO. RCB's integrated Master's-PhD program is open to foreign students. RCB offers scholarships to support these foreign students to pursue their academic program for the integrated Master's and Ph.D. degree. RCB conducts periodic workshops on relevant themes in partnership with UNESCO. Over the years, RCB scientists have established international collaborations with globally reputed institutions located in the USA, France, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and other countries.
RCB, on behalf of the Government of India, has entered into an agreement with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) for medium-term use of the ESRF synchrotron facility by Indian researchers to collect x-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, or cryo-electron microscopy data for non-proprietary research for the bene􀃶t of the Indian scienti􀃶c community as a whole, and notably the structural biology research groups. The programme provides access to Indian investigators to high-intensity macromolecular crystallography, small angle x-ray scattering experimental stations, and the cryo-electron microscopy facility located in ESRF.
RCB has also partnered with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST), Japan to conduct multiple bioimaging workshops at both RCB and AIST, through the RCB-AIST Joint Research Training and Capacity Building in Bio-imaging and Biotechnology. The initiative has enhanced career opportunities for scientists and researchers working in the area of biomedical sciences.
