International Partnerships

IUPUI's program promoting international outreach through building strong, lasting academic affiliation arrangements with universities around the world was the recipient of the 2009 Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education. Through the involvement of its staff, students, and faculty, IUPUI has linkages with partner institutions in over 70 countries worldwide.

Strategic Partnerships

Strategic international partnerships, the cornerstone of IUPUI's program of internationalization, reach out to every unit on the Indianapolis campus. Read the Vision and Goals of Strategic Alliance.

Kenya

The first and foremost of these partnerships is with Moi University, Kenya, which builds on the 20-year collaboration between the IU and Moi University Schools of Medicine.

 

China

The hub of IUPUI's partnership with Sun Yat-sen University, China, is the Confucius Institute in Indianapolis, which promotes the study of Chinese language and culture in Central Indiana and promotes ties of friendship and cooperation between the U.S. and China.

Mexico

The IUPUI-Universidad Autonomo del Estado de Hidalgo strategic partnership in Mexico builds on the decade-long collaboration between the IU Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry in the village of Calnali, Mexico. The centerpiece of the new, expanding collaboration is the Binational Cross-Cultural Health Enhancement Center, a Signature Center at IUPUI.

 

Faculty wishing to get involved in our partnerships in China, Kenya, and Mexico should contact Ian McIntosh, Director of International Partnerships at IUPUI at imcintos@iupui.edu or 317-274-3776.
