Strategic Plans of International Relations

Institutional Partnerships

We are focused on building strong research collaborations with leading global institutions. To accomplish this, we envisage a 4-stage process:

•Faculty interactions (visits & workshops, video-conferencing, joint proposals,

co-authored papers)

•Student exchanges (Ph.D. and M.S. scholars to spend 3-6 months carrying

out research at collaborators' laboratories)

•Joint-supervision of research scholars, serving on doctoral and Masters'

committees

•Joint-degree programs (where sufficient sustainability and scalability of

relations has been demonstrated)

• Currently:

> 160 MOUs in effect

• 5 JDPs with NUS, Swinburne, NTHU, University of Passau, University of

Melbourne. 2 JSPs with University of Melbourne and Deakin University

• Upcoming Agreements – JDP with Curtin University. JSP with Purdue

University.
