Engagement with India

Collaborating for impact

We are committed to deeper engagement with India by investing in research, collaborating with industry partners and supporting 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 in India by partnering with leading Indian institutions and scholars on commercialisation and research to support the continued economic growth and social development of both India and Australia.

We also offer scholarships for students who are Indian citizens.
