In general, NCFU's cooperation with Indian universities is systematic. Since 2022, the university has been implementing joint projects with Aligarh Muslim University, including organizing AISMA conferences, publishing articles in Q1 journals, and preparing joint books at Springer and IGI Global publishers. The plans include holding the TRUSTED 2027 international conference and publishing its materials in Springer.

Such events help scientists and young researchers share their experiences, as well as strengthen NCFU's position as a center of competence in the field of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence in the South of Russia.
