A memorandum of understanding will be signed on January 28 to exchange study and research between the two institutes.
The memorandum envisages collaboration in teaching, research, training programs, workshops and joint academic initiatives across the domains of film, media, arts and humanities. It will facilitate student and faculty exchanges, joint projects and shared educational opportunities aimed at enriching creative and scientific practices, he added.
