Six top universities in the United States signed a memorandum of understanding with the Indian government in Washington, D.C. July 20, for a program to enhance science and engineering education in India over a new satellite e-learning network.
Under the three-year partnership, two University of California schools - at Berkeley and San Diego - Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, State University of New York at Buffalo and Case Western Reserve University are encouraging their engineering faculty to spend a quarter or semester of their sabbaticals at one of AMRITA University`s four schools in India.
The Indian government and India`s Department of Science and Technology are partners in the high-level agreement, as are three U.S. research centers: U.C.`s Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2); and Carnegie Mellon`s CyLab.
The signing of the MoU was timed to coincide with last week`s official visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. QUALCOMM, Microsoft Corp. and Cadence Design Systems are providing funding for the program.
This is the opening of a door to a much broader research initiative between the United States and India, Venkat Rangan, vice chancellor of AMRITA University and a former professor of computer science and engineering at UCSD`s Jacobs School, told India-West July 25.
