Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin, has had strong links with South Asia for most of its history. Today the university is building on its links with India as part of globally networked cooperation in education and science. It is also strengthening Irish-Indian innovation through research and business opportunities.  A number of high-profile cooperation projects already exist in the sciences with top Indian institutions such as the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore and the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Advanced Study (JNIAS), Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.  The university also has partnership agreements with some of India's premier institutions of higher education including Delhi University, IISc Bangalore, IIT Madras and Thapar University among others.

To coincide with the launch of just released movie Ek Tha Tiger and to celebrate Trinity College Dublin’s lead role in the film, a delegation from the university is hosting a screening of Ek Tha Tiger in five Indian cities (Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Calcutta, and Delhi) this August.  The Delhi screening took place today with over 200 school children, their parents, teachers and alumni of the College in attendance to see Trinity College Dublin’s Bollywood debut.   They were also introduced to the range of educational opportunities available at Trinity College Dublin, one of Europe’s leading universities and a world leader in many disciplines.

Speaking at the event, Trinity College Dublin’s Vice President for Global Relations, Professor Jane Ohlmeyer said: “Trinity College Dublin’s role in Ek Tha Tiger places our historic campus on the world stage.  Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, Trinity is Ireland’s most prestigious university, ranked 65^th in the world by the QS World University Rankings.  The university offers students a fantastic range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses where they can benefit from a multicultural student experience.  This world class education and vibrant student experience equips students with the skills they need to become the leaders and decision makers of tomorrow, ensuring their success and mobility in an increasingly competitive world.  We at Trinity are constantly looking to attract people of excellent academic ability for our courses and Indian students have clearly demonstrated they can offer that.  Your high educational standards, coupled with good language skills are a perfect fit.”
