GIAN Courses aims to bring together international and national experts to collaborate and enhance the quality of higher education in India.
The Union Cabinet has approved a new program titled Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) in Higher Education aimed at tapping the talent pool of scientists and entrepreneurs, internationally to encourage their engagement with the institutes of Higher Education in India so as to augment the country’s existing academic resources, accelerate the pace of quality reform, and elevate India’s scientific and technological capacity to global excellence.
GIAN is an evolving scheme which will initially include the participation of foreign faculty in Institutes as Distinguished / Adjunct / Visiting faculty / Professors of Practice, etc., to participate in delivering Short or Semester-long Courses.
The primary objective of GIAN is to provide a platform for Indian students and faculty to interact with renowned international faculty members, experts, and scholars from various fields. This initiative enables the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and ideas through short-term courses, seminars, workshops, and conferences.
