Partnerships and membership

How institutions and people become part of the work of the institute, through agreements, membership of the consortium, affiliation and long-term alliances.

Institutional Partnerships

MoUs and joint programmes with universities, institutes and public bodies

Details and how to apply
Offered now, in India

B.A.P-I enters into memoranda of understanding and joint programmes with universities, research institutes and public bodies. A partnership can cover joint research on any of the 148 sectors, shared seminars and roundtables, co-authored publications and the exchange of researchers.

Within its purview

Within its mandate the institute can set up joint working groups on the protection of critical infrastructure, strategic manufacturing and supply chain resilience, and give partner institutions formal standing in its research ecosystem, its journals and its events.

Looking ahead

The institute seeks recognised partner status with leading institutions connected with partners outside India, joint centres on shared resilience questions, and agreements that carry long-term research programmes.

Beyond India

Universities, think tanks and public bodies outside India sign the same form of agreement with the institute. Joint work is arranged around the six strategic pillars, so each side can see where the partnership adds value at home.

Professional Partnerships

Experts and practitioners as advisors, reviewers and resource persons
