IIT Delhi and Sorbonne University deepen strategic partnership for research and innovation

The Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) and Sorbonne University, France, are further strengthening their strategic partnership with an expanded vision that spans advanced research, academic programmes, mobility, and innovation across emerging areas of global importance.

The collaboration reflects the growing momentum of the India–France strategic partnership and the shared commitment of both nations to advancing knowledge, technology, and societal impact.

Building upon the strong foundation of the jointly established Franco-Indian Integrated Health Campus, IIT Delhi and Sorbonne University are launching a joint Master’s programme in Biological Science and a joint PhD programme in 2026, creating new pathways for students and researchers to benefit from the strengths of both institutions.

The Franco-Indian Integrated Health Campus, which is at the heart of the partnership between both institutes, was established as a pioneering platform for interdisciplinary research and education in healthcare.

The campus brings together expertise from engineering, medicine, life sciences, social sciences, and digital technologies to address contemporary healthcare challenges through collaborative innovation. The Integrated Health Campus has already enabled a range of academic activities, including joint research projects, student internships, faculty and student mobility programmes, workshops, and scientific exchanges.
