OP Jindal Global University establishes research centre on G20 studies – Times of India

SONIPAT: OP Jindal Global University announces the establishment of the Jindal Global Centre for G20 Studies which will exclusively focus on research, thought leadership, and capacity building initiatives relating to G20. JGU has taken efforts to build this centre in the light of India assuming the Presidency of G20 from December 1, 2022.
The Jindal Global Centre for G20 Studies will have five major objectives – to develop a strong vision for enabling academic institutions across the G20 region to build international collaborations between them; to launch new initiatives to promote G20 studies and greater understanding of the countries in G20 in all its dimensions across other Indian higher education institutions; organise periodic lectures, seminars and conferences of topical relevance to India-G20 cooperation in partnership with other universities, think-tanks and government officials; build and strengthen capacities for pursuing research relating to G20 countries within India with a strong focus on joint research between institutions in G20; and develop multisectoral training and capacity building programmes in close partnership with higher education institutions in the G20.
Announcing the appointment of professor Mohan Kumar, former Indian Ambassador to France and the dean of the office of international affairs and global initiatives at JGU as the Inaugural director of the JGC4G20C, Raj Kumar, the founding vice chancellor said: “This will be a university-wide research centre, which will pursue five major initiatives in this year of India’s Presidency of G20. First, JGCG20 will be hosting a Global Conference of 200 Universities from G20 Countries with representation of 10 universities from each G20 partner to focus on the future of education; second, to organize a G20 Ambassadors’ Conclave that will promote a dialogue on the future of diplomacy; third, to host a Global Justice Colloquium with a focus on bringing together lawyers and judges of the G20 countries to discuss and debate on the state of the justice systems across G20; fourth, to host the World Sustainability Forum for bringing together thought leaders and institutions in G20 to engage on issues relating to environment and climate change; and fifth, to host the Global Public Policy and Development Dialogue for bringing together policy makers and academics in G20 to discuss issues confronting the world of policy and development.”
Kumar added that the vision for proposing a G20 Global Education Forum should enable the opportunity for another summit hosted in parallel to the G20 summit, which will bring together the leading universities of the G20.
