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 will achieve these goals in many ways:

Create a two-way expressway for students to learn at USC and students to study in India. Educate 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. 

Accelerate technologies that fuel innovation and exploration. Build accessible and secure technologies and other discoveries grounded in integrity and accountability. 

Supercharge collaborations in business, in the labs, in the arts, and on the screen. Combine forces to boost our multihyphenated creative economies and increase exchanges of talent in research, academic and professional collaborations across all fields through vibrant partnerships. 

Pilot and test new ideas in science, engineering, emerging computing, AI and technology that challenge conventional thinking. Be an incubator for experimentation and development to shape the industries of the future. 

Discover new scalable solutions for sustainable energy and technologies, green medicine, and ways to close the digital divide. Tackle the grand challenges that come with some of the largest population centers in the world like Los Angeles and the metropolises of India. 

Leverage shared pillars of democracy, entrepreneurism, education, linguistic and cultural richness. 

Our collective drive will advance 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 will create opportunities that span the globe and unite humanity.
