The University of Canberra’s Faculty of Business, Government and Law has concluded a transformative professional training and cultural exchange program for a 16-member delegation of senior officers from the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, along with representatives from the Indian Institute of Public Administration.
Designed and delivered by UC academics, the tailored program drew on the Faculty’s expertise in defence leadership, strategic planning, financial management, human resources, and branding and communication. Across seven expert-led sessions held in UC’s moot court, participants engaged with leading Australian scholars and practitioners.
The visiting delegation also undertook field visits to key national institutions including the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House, deepening their understanding of Australia’s defence history, governance and strategic environment.
Contributors to the program included Professor Peter Leahy, Dr Mike Kelly, Professor Sascha-Dominik Dov Bachmann, Professor Lorne Cummings, Professor Rebekah Russell-Bennett, Associate Professor Michael Jensen and Dr Robin Ladwig.
Special recognition was given to Dr Sarvjeet Kaur Chatrath for her exceptional coordination, which ensured the success and impact of the initiative.
The program marks a significant step in strengthening Australia–India defence engagement through academic exchange and professional development.
