Collaborations

Symbiosis has always believed in giving its students a global level learning platform that aids in improving their learning and collaborations are an effort in this direction. SIG, being a part of Symbiosis Pune works extensively towards this goal by establishing successful collaborations within the country. Through its collaborations, SIG students get an opportunity to learn on a larger scale and therefore develop a stronger academic background in Geoinformatics
