The Melbourne-India Postgraduate Program (MIPP) – A new multimillion-dollar scholarship program has been launched in India recently to provide the next generation of researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs in Melbourne and India with world-leading academic supervision and support.
The PG Program will link the University of Melbourne with some of the leading research institutes in India: the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore (IISc), the Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) & the Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) enabling students from India and Australia to undertake jointly developed research of the highest quality.
A joint initiative of the four institutions, the $3 million (AUD) program will provide 16 PhD scholarships and associated support for research exchanges over the next three years.
The program will officially commence in 2014 and will be open to PhD students enrolled at the University Of Melbourne, to be co-supervised by staff at IITK, IITM or IISC. Alternatively, students enrolled in one of the three Indian institutions will have access to co-supervision with Melbourne academics.
