UNSW will pursue even closer ties with India, following a visit from India’s Science and Technology Minister. Union Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, has led a high level delegation to the Kensington campus to meet with Vice Chancellor Fred Hilmer and other University dignitaries to discuss potential collaborations.

The delegation included the Indian High Commissioner, Mrs. Sujatha Singh and the Indian Consul-General in Sydney Mr. Sujan Chinoy.

During the meeting, Mr Sibal pointed to the enormous changes underway in India and the great potential for partnerships with Australian universities, especially in the areas of science and technology.

UNSW’s proven strengths in photovoltaics, medical research and nanotechnology were singled out.
