EAIE is the acknowledged European center for expertise, networking and resources in the internationalization of higher education. It represents over 5000 plus individuals across 90 countries actively involved in the internationalization of their institution. The theme of this year’s conference was “Facing Outward”.
Global India Education Forum is one such initiative from India by Discovery Education Media to provide an international platform for discussions and encourage partnerships with International Institutions and recognize the efforts that are being made by Indian Institutions and respected leaders from India towards Internationalization of Indian Education.
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) is nestled on a beautiful 300 acre campus, the Symbiosis Knowledge Village, on the outskirts of the city of Pune in Maharashtra, India. The University provides 23 programmers offered by the 15 universities under it.
The genesis of the University stems from the Symbiosis Society, a 'Not for Profit' organisation. Its growth reflects the dynamic changes in Indian society. It would not be far-fetched to claim that the history of the University is intertwined with the history of Management education in India. Today, SIU is a clear leader in management education with several of its management institutes ranked amongst the best in the country and its alumni occupying leadership positions across the world.
Cutting-edge technologies, smart classrooms and modern infrastructure positively impact the delivery of world class education. Diversity in the classroom and faculty rooms, service learning projects, internships and value-added activities lead to a more holistic development of students.
The University bears in mind its objective that its ultimate aim is to participate in the task of inculcating knowledge and hone skills which are vital to the young graduates and postgraduates who pass out from the University.
