The Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) will sign a collaboration agreement between IIT-Kharagpur and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. The agreement outlines an exchange and collaboration of research, faculty and students between the two institutions.

The agreement, called the Fairfax County Educational Accords, will be signed under the auspices of Virginia's Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA), at its IIT2005 Conference this week.
The FCEDA stated that Indian and Israeli businesses would benefit greatly from the signing of the exchange and collaboration agreement between the two preeminent technology institutes.

The IIT2005 Conference is for graduates of the IIT, which has seven campuses in India. It features participants from across North America, India and the other parts of the world. The FCEDA is a conference sponsor.
