The University of Birmingham, UK has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Punjab University, based in Chandigarh, India.

The MoU formalises the strategic regional relationship between our two institutions and will serve as a platform to bring the academia and communities from both sides together.

Birmingham researchers have been working with the key Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster (CRIKC) in areas including public health, advanced manufacturing, cyber security, and transportation to tackle common challenges. The outcome of these studies will create impact and bring social and economic benefits to both regions.

On signing the MoU, Adam Tickell, Provost and Vice Principal of the University of Birmingham, said: "We are delighted to be entering this formal agreement with our colleagues from Panjab University. It follows a series of exchanges of visits we have undertaken over the past 18 months to explore how we can work in partnership in key areas of research and education.

"We have identified a number of synergies between our institutions in areas such as software engineering, advanced manufacturing, cancer studies and biochemistry, which offer some excellent opportunities for meaningful collaboration."
