Prof. Vimal Chandra Srivastava, Dean of International Relations, IIT Roorkee, recently met with H.E. Ms. Apoorva Srivastava, Ambassador of India, at the Embassy of India in Bratislava. The meeting focused on enhancing academic and research collaborations between Indian and Slovak institutions, with discussions on student mobility programs, joint research initiatives, and innovation-driven partnerships.
This engagement marks a pivotal step toward building a long-term academic and cultural bridge between IITR and Slovak universities, e.g., Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava; Technical University of Košice; and University of Žilina, Slovakia. Beyond scientific collaboration in advanced engineering, sustainable technologies, and applied sciences, the partnership also aims to foster intercultural understanding through student and faculty exchanges, joint cultural events, and shared heritage initiatives. By blending academic excellence with cultural diplomacy, this collaboration aspires to create a dynamic platform for global citizenship, mutual respect, and innovation that transcends borders.
