Engagement with India
Collaborating for impact
We are committed to deeper engagement with India by investing in research and collaborating with industry partners, while supporting education for students to achieve their full potential.
At the University of Sydney, we build strategic global partnerships that change lives through high‑impact collaborations, leadership in research, teaching and international experiences. We provide opportunities for our staff and students to exchange ideas with the brightest minds around the world, and offer scholarships for students who are Indian citizens.
We partner our students with leading corporate, community and government organisations to create solutions to authentic issues. Our students bring fresh insights to organisations and gain invaluable practical experience.
Our partnerships cross research, industry, business, government and education
Collaborating on research, contributing to professional services and licensing our intellectual property are just three of the ways we work with industry, business and government.
Examples of this collaboration include:
- 60 academic research partnerships with India
- partnerships in India in the fields of health, medicine, environmental sciences and agriculture
- appointment of the inaugural University of Sydney Visiting Chair in Contemporary India, Professor Meena Gopal from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
Our goal is to work with industry partners who recognise the value of our technologies, ideas and expertise. We hope that our partnerships fuel greater research and development and generate products, systems and services that benefit the global community.
Our unique research centres are focused on tackling problems from all angles, addressing major social challenges and specialist interest areas.
We're home to 10 multidisciplinary initiatives that bring together talented researchers across diverse disciplines to advance teaching and research objectives in a collaborative environment. These include the Brain and Mind Centre; Cancer Research Network; Charles Perkins Centre; Centre for Translational Data Science; Marie Bashir Institute; Sydney Environment Institute; Sydney Nano; Australian Centre for Field Robotics; Sydney Policy Lab; and Sydney Southeast Asia Centre.
- The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and the Indian Agricultural Research Institute are co‑funding research by Professor Richard Trethowan from the Faculty of Science on molecular wheat breeding.
- As part of our commitment to increasing engagement with India, our Global Executive MBA has a residential block that is undertaken in Bangalore each year.
- We have signed an agreement with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences for an Industry and Community Project Unit to commence in February 2020.
Our welcoming community makes new Indian students feel right at home
Once Indian students join our friendly community, we offer plenty of support to make their transition to life in Sydney as easy as possible. With a vibrant community of more than 200 clubs and societies, we have something for everyone.
We host an array of subcontinental food, cultural activities and events on campus. The City of Sydney celebrates festivals such as Diwali, Holi Mahotsav and Parramasala, and we host the oldest cricket club in Australia, with a range of teams suited to all player levels.
Our subcontinental clubs and societies include the Ekansh Indian Cultural Society and the Sydney University Sikh Society.
