On December 7, 2007, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, India and Center for TeleInFrastuktur, CTIF, University of Aalborg, Denmark, in the area of Wireless Communication Technology. The occasion saw the launching of Center for TeleInFrastuktur (India), or CTIF-India. Besides the parent body, this is the second CTIF established after the CTIF (Italy) in the University of Rome. Erasmus Mundus Program with Aalborg and Other Universities Erasmus Mundus, (External Cooperation Window, Lot 11, Asia Regional) is a program to promote the exchange of students, scholars and faculty between partner universities of Europe and Asia.
