The second annual South Asia-Anglia partnership conference has resolved to lay stress on projects focusing on employer engagement in curriculum development and the use of emerging technology in enhancing learning experience.
Vice-Chancellors of different universities and senior academicians who took part in the two-day conference held on November 18 and 19 here at Mysore University unanimously favoured holding more workshops and seminar on this arena.
Explaining the resolutions passed during the two-day deliberations, K.S. Rangappa, Vice-Chancellor of Mysore University, and Michael Thorne, Vice-Chancellor, Anglia Ruskin University, said that it was decided to make use of the Joint Centre of Excellence in Public Health and Medical Innovation, based at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kollam (AIMS), Kerala, and Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in the UK, as a platform for an observatory of public health.
Prof. Rangappa said that in India, the universities currently involved in the partnership are a selection of publicly funded and private institutions, each with a unique area of expertise.
