The university has strong research ties to India as the home to the Canada India Research Centre for Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) and to many researchers who are studying in India and collaborating with Indian counterparts. Dr Pavneesh Madan, Professor - Veterinary Medicine, University of Guelph, is currently the president of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, an organisation that is devoted to promoting bilateral research ties.

“We have a growing number of partnerships with Indian institutions that catalyze the exchange of ideas and knowledge needed to power critical discoveries, innovations and train the next generation of global thought leaders,” he said.
