Get Involved

With the aim of enhancing global exposure for GBU academics and students, GBU offers visiting placements for University of Edinburgh (UoE) academics.

• UoE academics are invited to contribute to the Visiting Faculty programme at GBU. 
• Colleagues are expected to travel to GBU for short visits (up to two weeks), to contribute to teaching and learning, and to engage in research collaborations and industrial engagements along with GBU academics.
• Visiting UoE academics can also input to the faculty training and mentorship at GBU.

Colleagues at both institutions can benefit from expanding their research networks, enhancing their own teaching practices, cultural competency learning and engaging in global scientific exchange.

UoE faculty will have the opportunity to enhance their impact profile while helping shape innovative science at GBU, and to network within the wider higher education ecosystem in Gujarat.

If you are interested, please contact us for more details.

Each year starting March 2024, we will offer research placements for 14 weeks to GBU MSc students, at the University of Edinburgh (UoE).

The visiting GBU students will work with GBU and UoE co-supervisors to jointly develop a project proposal.

12 students will join us in 2024 across SBS, School of Chemistry, and College of Medicine  and Veterinary Medicine, with 25 students set to visit in February 2025, and we envision these projects will foster further research collaborations between faculties.

If you are interested in hosting a student in your lab, please contact us for more details.

We invite University of Edinburgh (UoE) colleagues with academic expertise in the areas of environmental and plant biotechnology, to join the partnership team.

Programme Advisors will support the delivery of the UoE-designed curricula and aid the professional development of GBU academic staff. The continuous knowledge-sharing activity involved in this role will offer professional, intellectual and cultural development, and the opportunity to strengthen and expand research connections in India.

If interested, please get in touch with the Academic Lead for the project, David Leach.
