India’s High Commissioner to Australia Nagesh Singh has met with RMIT University Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Alec Cameron in Melbourne to discuss opportunities for deeper collaboration in higher education, research, innovation and skills development.
The meeting focused on strengthening academic connections between India and Australia, including partnerships between universities, research cooperation and initiatives that support student mobility.
The discussions highlighted the growing importance of education links in the broader relationship between the two countries. Indian students continue to form an important part of Australia’s international education community, while Australian universities are expanding their engagement with Indian institutions through research partnerships, exchange opportunities and joint programmes.
Mr Singh and Professor Cameron also discussed ways universities can work together to address emerging challenges and create opportunities for students, researchers and industry.
RMIT University has maintained partnerships with institutions across India, supporting collaboration in areas such as technology, design, engineering, business and other fields aligned with future workforce needs.
The meeting reaffirmed the shared interest of India and Australia in building long-term academic partnerships that encourage knowledge exchange and innovation.
Education remains one of the key areas of cooperation between the two countries, alongside trade, research, technology and people-to-people connections. Universities on both sides continue to explore new avenues for collaboration as demand grows for international learning experiences and cross-border research initiatives.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
