UKIERI Study Mission
We are delighted to announce that Dr Jane Krishnadas' bid for funding for the UKIERI India – UK Study Mission has been successful.
The UKIERI Study Mission grant will provide £50k to support Lead Applicants; Dr Jane Krishnadas, as Director of Legal Outreach, Keele and Professor Lakshmi Lingam, as the Deputy Director of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences new UG and PGT campus in Hyderabad, to pioneer a study exchange of social and legal curriculum in collaboration with professional partners from the social and legal sector in India UK. The project prioritises the fostering of mobility of students acros
s the UK and India, and all the UKIERI funding is allocated to secure the most equitable exchange of students from each institution. Over the 2 year programme this will enable a total of 32 students to embark on exchanges between the UK and India.
This was a very competitive funding call and the success of the application is a product of the relationships that Jane has been developing since 2007. The grant will enable us to support Keele PGT students who wish to visit TISS as part of their programme and for us to welcome an increased number of TISS PGR students to Keele. The opportunity to place our relationship with TISS on a much more sustainable basis will enhance the attractiveness of our PGT programmes to students wishing to take up these opporunities and the exchanges will provide a platform for future programme development and research collaborations
Jane has been supported in this at Keele by Alison Brammer (Law) and Jane Boylan (Social Work) and the programme also builds on the community partnerships cemented through CLOCK. Many thanks to everyone involved and congratulations to Jane.
