Can you briefly give an overview of how the University of Birmingham visualises its collaboration with the Indian institutions, especially in the field of Science and technology?

Our relationship with India goes back to 1907 when Indian students came to study at Birmingham. We have collaborations with Indian universities and several industrial houses in India. We are using science and technologies to address the social and economic problems in India, such as cleaning water, air etc.
