The UTTHAN Pathways Regional Partnerships Accelerator brings together regionally headquartered Australian universities (RHAUs) and a select cohort of Indian institutions in Tier 2 and 3 cities to identify practical opportunities for research capability-building partnerships. The Accelerator is designed to build a shared understanding of institutional capabilities and priorities, identify areas of complementarity, and translate these into realistic collaboration concepts that can be developed and scaled over time. The series is led by the Australia India Institute, in partnership with the Regional Universities Network and Section Infin8 Foundation, and funded by the Australian Government Department of Education.
Day 1: Navigating System-Level Challenges in International Research Collaboration is the second session, focusing on identifying practical responses to systemic constraints in international research collaboration, including institutional approvals, resourcing and incentive structures. Thank you to our panellists:
* Professor Hurriyet Babacan, Director, International Research and Development, CQUniversity
* Professor Kamaljit K Sangha, Outstanding Future Researcher, Ecological Economics, Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods, Charles Darwin University
* Dr Sreerupa Sengupta, Associate Professor and Program Chair, Healthcare Management, Goa Institute of Management
* Dr Anil Wali, CEO, BITS BioCyTiH Foundation
