Future Plans
Looking Ahead, the University of Chicago has set up a new collaboration with IIT Bombay in the fields of science and technology, focusing on areas such as quantum information science, climate and energy, advanced microelectronics, artificial intelligence, and data science.
Additionally, they are also working with organizations like TCG CREST in Kolkata to advance battery technologies. The university is committed to sharing knowledge and research to address climate and energy challenges through ventures like the University of Chicago’s Climate and Energy Institute, as well as existing partnerships like EPIC-India.
