IIT Hyderabad and Japanese institutes collaborated on the Earthquake research
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad and four Institutions in Japan have collaborated for research in various areas including earthquake engineering and will also offer joint doctoral programs.The MoU was signed by Prof B.S. Murty, Director of IIT Hyderabad during his recent visit to Japan. Under the MoU, IIT Hyderabad will collaborate with the Earthquake Disaster Mitigation Research Division (EDMRD) at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience on Earthquake Engineering.The doctoral degree will be offered in collaboration with the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Shizuoka University.IIT Hyderabad has also signed MoU with the Saitama University for the Academic Exchange of faculty, students and implementation of research and various education programs. IIT Hyderabad will also work with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) to strengthen Research collaboration. Speaking about the importance of these collaborations, Prof B.S. Murty, Director, IIT Hyderabad, said, "IIT Hyderabad has signed MoUs with educational institutions in Japan to have Joint supervision Program where research students can go there to continue some part of their research in these institutions. In future to come IIT Hyderabad is also working to have Joint Doctoral Program as an outcome of it students will be benefited with dual doctoral degree from both institutes. These will also will focus on Faculty exchange program and scale quality of research. MoU with NIMs will benefit students with fellowship whereas MoU with E-DMRD is to develop technology for Earthquake resistance building. The overall aim is to enhance the quality of research in the institute.” The main aim of the collaboration is to establish a high-level cooperative framework for both institutions in earthquake engineering. Both institutes will also undertake other activities such as joint research activities, faculty exchange, joint seminars and internship opportunities.
