India and the Australian National University (ANU) are exploring opportunities to strengthen collaboration in higher education, research and academic exchange.
High Commissioner of India Nagesh Singh met ANU Interim Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Rebekah Brown FASSA and Professor Kiaran Kirk AM, Dean of the ANU College of Science & Medicine, for discussions on expanding cooperation between Indian and Australian institutions.
The meeting focused on potential collaboration across STEM and humanities research, as well as stronger connections between institutions, faculty members and students.
Professor Brown, an academic and research leader in sustainability and environmental studies, and Professor Kirk joined Mr Singh in discussions aimed at building closer links between the two countries’ higher education and research communities.
The discussions covered opportunities to deepen India-Australia academic cooperation through institutional partnerships, faculty engagement and student linkages.
The meeting comes as universities and research institutions in both countries continue to look for opportunities to strengthen international collaboration across a range of academic disciplines.
For ANU and India, the focus on both STEM and humanities reflects a broad approach to academic cooperation, with research and educational connections providing opportunities for institutions, academics and students to work more closely together.

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.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
