Education

The education program focuses on strengthening the cooperative relationship for talent development, research, and innovation between Australia and India. It is guided by policy directions outlined by the Australia India Education and Skills Council, Australia India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Australia’s India Economic Strategy to 2035, India’s Australia Economic Strategy and Australia’s Education Strategy for India.  

Since our inception, the Australia India Institute has fostered strong research partnerships between Australia and India. Our Australian Researcher Cooperation Hub-India platform, the Australia India Women Researchers’ Exchange Program, Australia India Research Students Fellowships, and Australia India ‘Unnati’ Research Collaboration Grants exemplify our efforts to build links, support exchanges, and facilitate collaborations between researchers of both countries.  

Our education research reports, analyses, and knowledge-sharing activities aim to promote understanding of each country’s education sector and open opportunities for collaboration and engagement. Our work spans across key topics of mutual interest, including skills development, work integrated learning, and innovative education trends. 

The Institute is supported by the Australian Government Department of Education, enabling us to play a critical role in strengthening the learning, skilling, and research engagement between our two countries.
