The 2010 ASHS Annual Conference

Objective(s):
This workshop describes internationalization of US curriculum, research and outreach collaborative efforts in progress with Universities and research centers in India.

There is a national need for the US colleges to produce graduates who are globally competent which can be met by partnering with academic and research institutions outside the United States.  The USDA supports “research, extension, and teaching activities that will enhance the capabilities of American colleges and universities to conduct international collaborative research, extension and teaching” through the International Science and Education grants program.  Among nations interested in educational collaborations with the US, India has taken steps to forge collaborations with the US through the US-India Knowledge Initiative on Agricultural Education, Teaching, Research, Service, and Commercial Linkages (AKI) that was announced in 2005. This workshop describes internationalization of curriculum, research and outreach collaborative efforts in progress with Universities and research centers in India.
