Indian education minister visits RMIT during Australian trip

The Indian education minister has visited RMIT, to explore best practice research and industry partnerships.

Dharmendra Pradhan today joined federal education minister Jason Clare, RMIT Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Alec Cameron and university students at the City Campus.

The ministerial visit reinforced RMIT’s bilateral relations and regional collaboration – and showcased the university’s industry-led research and study programs which deliver outcomes across the Asia Pacific region.

As part of the visit, the Indian delegation toured RMIT’s state-of-the-art Discovery to Device advanced manufacturing facility.

The facility fosters collaboration between universities, researchers and start-ups to develop new technologies for healthcare and diagnostics, including wireless electronic devices and rapid disease screening.

The tour also included RMIT’s College of Vocational Education facilities.

RMIT is a leading provider of transnational education, particularly in India, under the university’s flagship partnership with Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani.
