India Strategies Task Force

The India Strategies Task Force launched this fall with the goal of identifying and exploring partnership opportunities with institutions in India. Members represent a cross-section of academic and administrative units with knowledge of India’s education sector.

Throughout the spring semester, Task Force members traveled to various cities in India to meet with prominent Indian universities and determine the feasibility for research collaborations, faculty exchanges, and student mobility. Based on these trips, Stony Brook is now moving forward on partnerships with universities in Chandigarh and Mangalore.

Most notably, Stony Brook is now working with Punjab University in Chandigarh to deliver a new Summer in India faculty-led study abroad program. Focused on sustainability and renewable energy, students will participate in lectures by both Stony Brook and local faculty and experience a one-week learning excursion to the Himalayas!
