International Centre, Goa is prominent conference centre, seminars venue, and cultural space in the western Indian state of Goa. It is located at Dona Paula, outside Panjim (Panjim). Its setting up has been supported, among others, by the Ford Foundation.
Launched over a decade-and-half ago, it is seen as a prominent place for bringing "thought leaders"[1] together for research and sharing of knowledge and ideas at a local, national and international level. It is known for its frequent lectures, talks and workshops.[1]
International Centre, Goa is a not-for-profit autonomous society founded in June 1987, though supported in part by the government. It was inaugurated on 18 June 1996, and is located in Goa, India. It says its vision is to "bring together thinkers, scholars, academics, achievers, sociologists, industrialists and creative people from India and around the world."[2] It is patterned loosely on the India International Centre at New Delhi, a non-government institution that is considered one of India's premier cultural institutions and "where statesmen, diplomats, policymakers, intellectuals, scientists, jurists, writers, artists and members of civil society meet".[3]
