What is ARCH-India?

The Australian Researcher Cooperation Hub India (ARCH-India), established in 2021, supports researcher engagement between India and Australia. Its primary aim is to strengthen and increase bilateral research collaboration and showcase the research excellence of both countries. 

ARCH-India serves as an online platform for researchers to connect expertise, build relationships, share information, and explore opportunities for collaboration and mobility.

Objectives of ARCH-India

  • Increase the number of Australian and Indian researchers that are collaborating with one another  
  • Identify major sources of funding that can facilitate that research  
  • Increase awareness of research strengths of both countries  
  • Diversify the reach of Australian and Indian research institutions to a wider network  
  • Increase mobility of research students between both countries 

ARCH-India was formally launched at the Australia India Ministerial Education Council in August 2022, following the early-access launch in August 2021.
