Bangalore: Australia's
La Trobe University Thursday tied up with three leading Indian
institutes to promote student exchange programmes and joint
research projects, an official of the varsity said here Thursday.
The Indian institutes are Jagadguru Sri Shivarathreeswara (JSS)
University at Mysore, about 140 km from here, Maharashtra
Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cummins College at Pune.
"The tie-ups will enable students of JSS, MIT and Cummins to
participate in exchange programmes and conduct research projects
benefiting students of our university and the three partner
institutes," La Trobe's science, technology and engineering
faculty dean Brian McGaw told reporters here on the occasion.
Reputed for academic excellence and research achievements, the
university was named after Victoria's first lieutenant-governor La
Trobe. About 140,000 students graduated from its five campuses
across the state since its inception in 1965.
The Australian varsity invested Rs.1,651 crore in setting a world
class Centre for AgriBioscience through public-private partnership
for conducting research and development (R&D) in agricultural
bio-sciences.
"The partnership with Indian higher education institutes will
enhance our presence in the sub-continent. Research at AgriBio
will contribute to the protection of agriculture from disease
threats, improve primary industries competitiveness and focus on
climate change and drought," McGaw asserted.
La Trobe entered into similar tie-ups early this year (February)
with Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, in
Rajasthan, Delhi Technological University, leading IT major HCL
and auto major Mahindra Reva.
