IRL University Relations

 

IBM India Research Lab (IBM IRL) actively seeks collaborations and relationships with Indian Universities. IRL’s goal is to develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with Indian academia by fostering advanced research, promoting academic exchanges, and cultivating tomorrow’s world-class researchers.

IRL’s UR efforts center on encouraging well-defined, researcher-to-researcher collaborative relationships between individual faculty members and IRL researchers. We offer numerous resources to academia under the umbrella of such collaborations: research awards, research grants, equipment grants, sabbatical opportunities, conference sponsorships, student internships, student project training, etc. IRL’s University Relations programs require an internal IBM IRL collaborator who also acts as sponsor/nominator for IBM funding.

IRL’s university collaborations are open to faculty of IITs, IISc, TIFR, ISI, IMSc, CMI, and a few other select Indian and Foreign Universities.
