The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Guwahati has taken a significant step towards international collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ASEAN-India Network of Universities (AINU).

This MoU opens doors for faculty and student exchange programs, joint research initiatives, and even collaborative PhD supervision between NIPER Guwahati and universities across Southeast Asia.

The AINU, envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018 and formally launched in 2022, aims to foster collaboration between Indian and ASEAN universities.

This network focuses on propelling research in emerging fields, developing skilled professionals, and establishing a collaborative think-tank environment. Areas of joint focus include engineering, science and technology, policy and law, trade and investment, peace and security, sustainable development, humanities, and the Blue Economy.
