In a landmark move aimed at fostering global academic collaboration, Dartmouth College in the United States and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, India, have officially announced a strategic partnership. This alliance is set to accelerate joint research, innovation, and educational exchange between the two prestigious institutions.
The partnership will focus on interdisciplinary research areas including artificial intelligence, sustainable energy, materials science, and biotechnology — fields that are critical to addressing global challenges.
“This collaboration is a unique opportunity to combine Dartmouth’s cutting-edge research capabilities with IISc’s rich legacy of scientific excellence,” said Dr. Emily Carter, Provost of Dartmouth College. “Together, we aim to create impactful solutions and cultivate the next generation of global leaders.”
The initiative includes faculty exchanges, joint workshops, co-supervised graduate programs, and shared access to state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities.
“Our partnership with Dartmouth will open new avenues for innovation and broaden the horizons for our students and researchers,” commented Prof. Gopalakrishnan, Director of IISc. “We look forward to a fruitful collaboration that benefits both countries and the international scientific community.”
The partnership reflects a growing trend in academia to build cross-continental alliances that leverage diverse expertise and resources to tackle pressing scientific and societal problems.
