Miri – 23 February 2022 – Curtin University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) last week signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for collaboration in joint education and research activities with the Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Studies (KIAMS) in India.

Established in 1991, KIAMS is part of one of India’s largest industrial conglomerates, the Kirloskar Group of Companies, and ranked among the top business schools in India with campuses in Harihar and Pune.

Curtin Malaysia, meanwhile, is Curtin University’s earliest and largest global campus and hub in ASEAN. It is majority owned by the Sarawak Government and operated in a joint venture with the university, which also has global campuses in Dubai, Singapore and Mauritius.

Signing the MOU on behalf of Curtin Malaysia in a signing ceremony conducted online was Pro Vice-Chancellor, President and Chief Executive Professor Simon Leunig, while Director Dr. Bidyanand Jha signed on behalf of KIAMS. Acting as witnesses to the signing were Dean of Curtin Malaysia’s Faculty of Business, Professor Andreas Zins, and KIAMS Librarian and Coordinator Dr. R.K. Kishore Patnala. Also in attendance were a number of senior staff of Curtin Malaysia’s Faculty of Business and KIAMS.

In his opening speech, Professor Leunig remarked that Curtin University is very proud to be a global university with campuses in Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Mauritius and its presence is very significant in the Indian Ocean Rim, which India is a very significant part of.

“We are always looking to develop significant relationships with like-minded institutions in that region. So, it makes a lot of sense to develop this relationship and sign this MOU which covers a number of areas that are in both of our interests and will greatly benefit our staff and students,” he said.

The MOU will facilitate joint education and research activities, the exchange of faculty and students, the exchange of knowledge and resources, and the organising of joint academic and scientific conferences.

Dr. Bidyanand, meanwhile, said KIAMS has a legacy of 30 years as an academic institution running management development and postgraduate diploma programmes, training students for managerial positions and has been selected by the government of India as a centre for Industry 4.0 transformation.

He said the MOU was a prestigious one for KIAMS and a good opportunity to tie up with Curtin University and collaborate on joint research, the exchange of faculty members and students, and the organising of joint conferences. He highlighted KIAMS’ research strengths, added that close collaboration between researchers at KIAMS and Curtin Malaysia would definitely enhance the research capacities of both institutions.

When giving his closing remarks, Professor Zins thanked staff of Curtin Malaysia’s Faculty of Business and KIAMS for their efforts in establishing the relationship between the two institutions. He said both parties were now looking forward to actively building on that relationship and producing tangible results with some proposed joint already on the cards.

Overall, it is hoped that the signing of the MOU will be the start of a very productive collaboration and bring considerable benefits to both institutions in the long-term.
