We have partnered with the Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research (AcSIR) in India for a joint research program to foster collaborations with leading research institutions in India to achieve research excellence and innovation. AcSIR works in conjunction with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the largest research and development organisation in India.
