Interview with Prof. Ebrahim Adia on the new Wolverhampton-Bengaluru Centre for Research and Innovation in Bangalore.
Forging a new bond in research, the University of Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom has recently opened a new centre on the campus of Bangalore City University. Born from a two-and-a-half-year vision shaped by professors of the universities, the Wolverhampton-Bengaluru Centre for Research and Innovation (WBC) is a testament to what happens when academic ambition meets a commitment to real-world change, say those behind the initiative.
In an exclusive conversation, Professor Ebrahim Adia, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of the University of Wolverhampton, sheds light on the origins of the centre, its strategic vision and the opportunities it aims to create for students, faculty and global research.
