JGU signs MoUs with 10 leading universities in 5 countries at QS India Summit
JGU signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with 10 leading universities in 5 countries during the QS India Summit 2026 held in Goa. These MoUs mark JGU’s continued engagement with global universities and are aimed at supporting academic cooperation across multiple regions.
These MoUs provide a framework for collaboration in areas such as student and faculty exchange, joint research, academic engagement, and other mutually agreed initiatives, to be implemented in line with the academic priorities of the partner institutions.
The MoUs were signed with the following universities: The University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Royal Roads University, University of Guelph, and Brock University (Canada); University of Otago (New Zealand); University of Sheffield and University of Stirling (United Kingdom); Delta University for Science and Technology (Egypt); and Shinawatra University (Thailand).
This landmark achievement takes JGU’s international collaborations to over 600 partnerships spanning 80+ countries across the globe. These strategic engagements will further strengthen opportunities for JGU students and faculty in areas such as international mobility, academic exchange, joint research, capacity building, and deeper institutional cooperation with leading universities worldwide.
Reflecting on the development, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU, noted that global academic partnerships have become essential for universities seeking to generate wider intellectual and societal impact. “In today’s interconnected world, universities must engage globally not only to expand academic horizons, but also to contribute meaningfully to global knowledge and public good. The MoUs signed at the QS India Summit reflect JGU’s sustained commitment to building international academic partnerships that enable impactful research collaboration, global learning opportunities, and long-term institutional engagement.”
