Dear Dr. James O. Castagnera,
Indo-Global Education Summit 2011
Greetings and good wishes!
I am pleased to invite you and your institution to participate in the Indo-Global Education Summit 2011 on academic collaborations and student enrollment. The Summit will be held in New Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai from November 4 to 12, 2011.
As you know, Indian educational system has been undergoing a paradigm shift in the recent past. India has the world's second largest post-secondary student population of around 14 million. It is expected that this number will double over the next 12 years. Further, the Indian economy is transforming into an international powerhouse requiring India to provide the best possible educational opportunities for its citizens. In the face of a growing demand for post secondary education and limited capacities, India is turning to foreign universities to bridge the anticipated gap. India is also keen to improve the quality of its own higher education with the help of reputable foreign universities. Government of India is playing an active role in this process.
Indo-Global Education Summit 2011 is a unique event which is being organized in India as a sequel to the highly successful Education Summits held in 2009 and 2010. The Summit 2011 will have sessions on collaborative research programs, joint undergraduate and graduate programs, twinning & transfer programs, distance education programs, faculty & student exchange programs, study abroad in India programs, and otheracademic partnerships. The major fields covered would be Engineering & IT, Business & Management, Life Sciences & Bio-medicine, Natural Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and vocational education. There will be one-on-one meetings between representatives of Indian institutions and those of foreign universities for forging academic collaborations. The Summit 2011 is specifically designed for chief executives, vice-chancellors, presidents, provosts, deans, enrollment / recruitment officers, and their executive-level team members.
