Canadian academic leaders travelled to India as part of a delegation aimed at strengthening economic and academic ties between the two countries.
Twenty-one university presidents joined the delegation, led by Universities Canada, that met with Indian government officials along with university and private sector leaders.
More than a dozen Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for transnational educational opportunities were signed between Canadian universities and Indian post-secondary institutions.
The five-day trip was the first in a series of Canadian engagements with India which is expected to culminate with a visit by Prime Minister Mark Carney later this spring.
Gabriel Miller, president of Universities Canada (University Affairs' publisher), described the mission as positioning universities as central to Canada's broader efforts to realign its global economic relationships.
