A delegation from the University of Jyväskylä and the University of Helsinki, visited their Indian partner Azim Premji University in Bangalore, India. The aim of the visit was to provide collaborating researchers across the three institutions with a platform to plan the future of joint projects, either active or in-planning, initiated through GINTL’s support. Delegates led workshops on key themes, engaged in talks, visited schools and collectively discussed the future of their tri-lateral collaboration. As the funding period ends in December 2024, the visit was a step towards encouraging sustainability of partnerships formed under the GINTL India network.
