New Delhi, 11 February: New Zealand’s education ties with India have been strengthened by a New Zealand university-led academic workshop at IIT Delhi, culminating today with a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a New Zealand Centre at the IIT. The New Zealand Centre will be a focal point of academic activity for all eight New Zealand Universities and IIT Delhi.
The two-day workshop, held at IIT Delhi, provided an opportunity for academics from NZ universities and IIT Delhi to discuss and develop projects for long term research collaboration.
