Chronicle
of Higher Education: Compared with its Asian rival China,
India has been less successful in luring its expatriate
researchers in the US, Europe, and Canada back home. That
shortcoming is being redressed by the newest campus of India's
elite Indian Institute of Technology. As the
Chronicle's Shailaja Neelakantan reports, IIT Ropar in
India's northwestern state of Punjab has former researchers
from IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory among its faculty.
The recruits cite the university's favorable treatment of young
professors as one of its attractions.
