 "IIT Bombay joins hand with Australia's Monash University for research")
In a move that could enhance joint Australian and Indian research venture, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) has joined hands with Australia’s Monash University for education and research by setting up new facility at the IITB-Monash Research Academy at Powai (Mumbai). Australia’s Minister for Education and Training Minister, Christopher Pyne officially opened the new facility on August 22, 2015.
“The new building would enhance strategic research collaboration between the Institute and Australia’s Monash University. The Australian Government greatly values our strong relationship with India, particularly in education and research. Research collaboration is essential because no single government or organisation can provide all the solutions to global challenges such as food security, sustainable agricultural practices, energy and water security or health,” said Pyne.
The IITB-Monash Research Academy is undertaking important collaborative research work that will benefit both countries and with a focus on some of these global challenges.
The Australian Government, through the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund, was one of the early contributors to this joint venture, providing $1.5 million in seed funding to establish the IITB-Monash Research Academy.
"The collaboration between the IITB and Monash University will see students receive a joint PhD from both institutions, with the added benefit of exposing a large cohort of young researchers to cutting-edge international research. I am delighted to officially open this new building, which represents an exciting new chapter in Australia’s deepening relationship with Indian on education and research through the IITB-Monash Research Academy,” added Pyne.
