Melbourne-India PhD Scholarship Program (MIPP) in Engineering

From the postgraduate training bulletin.......
With the support of the Research @ Melbourne International Research & Research Training Fund (IRRTF), the Faculties of Engineering, Science, Business and Economics, and Land & Environment have partnered with three Indian Research Institutes (Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore (IISc), the Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) & the Institute of Technology Madras (IITM)), to develop a new collaborative research training group called the Melbourne India Postgraduate Program (MIPP).

The four faculties involved in MIPP will offer 16 PhD scholarships to attract the best Indian and international students with associated support for research exchanges, joint seminars and projects. The program will commence in 2014 for Melbourne PhD candidates to be co-supervised by academics at the Indian Institutions and vice-versa. The next round of the scheme will open in early 2014.
