On January 13, 2025, the Global Policy Institute (GPI) and Ajeenkya DY Patil University (ADYPU) in India signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the International Seminar on Strategic Geopolitics and Security Issues at ADYPU. This agreement establishes a dedicated ADYPU-GPI Chapter—an important step in advancing collaborative research, fostering academic exchange, and developing policy frameworks on pressing geopolitical and security challenges.
Under this new partnership, GPI will work closely with ADYPU and Bay Atlantic University (BAU) to cultivate innovative insights into strategic geopolitics, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. Through joint seminars, workshops, and publications, the ADYPU-GPI Chapter aims to promote dialogue around international security, global governance, and emerging policy issues. By uniting thought leaders, academics, policymakers, and students from multiple disciplines, this initiative will generate cross-border perspectives to help shape effective solutions for critical global concerns.
Commenting on the collaboration, GPI President and BAU Professor Paolo von Schirach noted, “This partnership aligns with GPI’s mission to advance understanding and develop strategic policies. We are delighted to work with ADYPU in exploring new avenues for research and practical engagement on global security and geopolitical affairs.” Dr. Nishakant Ojha, a global strategic expert instrumental in envisioning this alliance, emphasized the crucial need for bridging academic knowledge and policymaking expertise to address today’s complex international challenges. Together, GPI and ADYPU look forward to creating transformative opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals seeking to innovate in the realm of global policy.
