A senior delegation from the University of Manchester is on an India visit this week to strengthen partnerships and seek new opportunities around science, health and humanities, the leading educational institution in the north of England said on Monday.
Visiting Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi, the university roadshow comes close on the heels of a landmark agreement to collaborate in the field of science and innovation to help drive economic growth and create skilled jobs.
The India-UK agreement struck recently covers a joint award PhD programme between the University of Manchester and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), which is seen as building on existing research collaborations across a number of thematic areas including biomaterials, graphene, and environmental sciences.
