UM India Strategy
UM started in August 2007 and embarked up on a very unique initiative to focus on India and build research capacity through partnerships. Today the two main features of the UM India Strategy are:
- Focus on building research capacity through synergistic partnerships.
- Build thematic research in India. The triangle of building blocks is:
- Best of UM
- Best of India – partner Indian institutes – examples of faculty partners are: Narayana Hrudayalaya, Aravind Eye care, PES IT, ISI, ISEC, IIM A, IIM B, top National Law schools, St. John’s Hospital, etc.
- Themes of social relevance to India and of relevance to the UM research community.
Since August 2007 Frits van Merode and Krista Knopper, were responsible for developing and implementing the overall Maastricht University India Strategy. A number of their articles and presentations on this strategy are listed below:
