EduConnect has been designed for Higher Education Institutions (HEI's) in India to facilitate collaboration with International Universities through MoU's and agreements. The idea behind EduConnect is rooted in the spirit of Government of India's New Education Policy which prioritises internationalization of higher education to develop & strengthen international collaborations & partnerships and enhance the capacity of India's HEI's. Through this service, Indian universities can explore opportunities for collaboration with esteemed global universities and explore opportunities for offering joint degrees, dual programs, and twinning initiatives as envisaged under the NEP. With our strong presence in both the US and Indian education ecosystem, EduBridge International facilitates a seamless exchange of knowledge, ideas, and innovation, nurturing collaborations that transcend geographical boundaries.
