            <description><![CDATA[Deakin University's growing partnerships with India took another step forward in November as 15 students enrolled through the Deakin India Research Initiative underwent induction training.

The induction courses were run by Associate Professor Peter Beech from the Faculty of Science and Technology and Grant Michie from the Research Services Division.

"Induction workshops are offered to all commencing higher degree by research candidates in Australia and it was felt that the cohort in India was sufficiently large to necessitate training there," said Associate Professor Beech.

"In addition, the candidates' India-based research supervisors were informed about Deakin HDR policies and procedures."

Workshops were held in three cities - Hyderabad, Delhi and Bangalore - and involved the 15 PhD candidates and 11 supervisors.

"All the students and supervisors were very impressive individuals," Mr Michie said.

"And those in Delhi were particularly excited because they had recently met our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, when he was visiting.

"They were made to feel very special about working with Deakin.

"Another pleasing aspect of the trip was discovering the quality of the research facilities the students have access to.

"In one lab alone there were microscopes worth around $5 million."
