For Faculty

Many IIMU faculty members come to the Institute with broad international exposure. A number of permanent faculty members have earned their research credentials from top schools in Europe and North America. Adjunct and visiting faculty from leading business schools in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the U.A.E. enrich this mix and bring vast experience and wide-ranging points of view to the campus.

In line with IIMU's mission to provide thought leadership in research, the Institute actively supports a range of research opportunities for our faculty members so they can undertake projects and exchange ideas with leaders in their fields outside India. IIMU offers financial support for faculty members to spend a semester at a reputed research-focused international university. This would help them in improving their research capabilities, in building their research networks and in some cases in pursuing ongoing research projects. The Institute also provides financial support for faculty members to attend national and international conferences and undertake other research-related travel.

Research Partnerships

IIMU has established research relationships with various international partners. A joint research program is now in place with Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy; four projects have been undertaken to date. Discussions are under way to create a similar program with Purdue University.
