Our Mission:
The USC and India: Partner the Future mission deepens a long-standing relationship between two powerhouses of global education and innovation. The combination of India’s spirit of entrepreneurship and transformational growth coupled with USC’s excellence across multiple disciplines and path-breaking research is an influential force for good.
As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India offers USC a place where innovators and creators can combine their talents, resources and collective brainpower to take on some of the most pressing global challenges and opportunities of our time.
We achieve these goals in many ways:
Creating a two-way expressway for students to learn at USC and students to study in India. Educating global learners through transformative academic experiences across all disciplines; the arts, music, science, engineering, business, medicine, athletics, humanities, communications, engineering, public policy, law and computing.
Accelerating technologies that fuel innovation and exploration. Building accessible and secure technologies and other discoveries grounded in integrity and accountability.
Supercharging collaborations in business, in the labs, in the arts and on the screen. Combining forces to boost our multi-hyphenated creative economies and increase exchanges of talent in research, academic and professional collaborations across all fields through vibrant partnerships.
Piloting and testing new ideas in science, engineering, emerging computing, AI and technology that challenge conventional thinking. Being an incubator for experimentation and development to shape the industries of the future.
Discovering new scalable solutions for sustainable energy and technologies, green medicine, and ways to close the digital divide. Tackling the grand challenges that come with some of the largest population centers in the world like Los Angeles and the metropolises of India.
Leveraging shared pillars of democracy, entrepreneurism, education, linguistic and cultural richness.
Our collective drive advances the historic partnership between USC and India. The growing Trojan Family is life-long and worldwide, and when USC and India: Partner the Future, we create opportunities that span the globe and unite humanity.
