Shoolini University and the highly reputed University of Arkansas, USA, have decided to jointly work on students and faculty exchange programmes and joint research in areas of mutual interest.
The agreement provides for a partnership between the two universities for a period of at least four years. The two universities had earlier too joined hands for collaboration.
Over the last five years, six Shoolini University students have spent stints of over six months each in the hi-tech labs of the University of Arkansas, and Shoolini has hosted Dr. Stephenson, a senior Arkansas professor on a Fulbright fellowship.
This is one of the several partnerships Shoolini has with leading US universities. The agreement is for the mutual benefit of students and faculty and to support their mobility and research collaboration, says Prof Atul Khosla Vice Chancellor Shoolini University.
Dr. Stephenson said his University that would welcome a representative or delegation from Shoolini University to meet with counterparts at Arkansas University to learn about their interest and ability to collaborate when the pandemic subsides, he said.
Under the agreement two institutions will work to develop agreements and programmes for exchanging academic, research and other educational materials. Both the institutions will also work for exchanging students for next tenure as well. Both parties will explore the opportunities for their respective faculty members and administrators to be in the residence at the other institution for the purpose of lecturing, conducting research and develop their academic and administrative skills. Collaborative programmes, seminars research activities will be encouraged and supported.
The agreement will strengthen the relationship between the two institutions and this will be a great opportunity for the Shoolini university’s faculty and students to explore the hi-tech labs at Arkansas university, said Prof Kesari Singh, Professor-cum-Director, UG and Doctoral Studies, Shoolini University.
