Worldwide Universities Network
The Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) is a leading global higher education and research network made up of 21 universities, spanning 12 countries on five continents. Together we work to drive international research collaboration and address issues of global significance.
WUN is the most active global higher education and research network with 90 active research initiatives, engaging over 2,000 researchers and students collaborating on a diverse range of projects. These initiatives are committed to addressing some of the world’s most urgent challenges and are supported by prolific partners such as the United Nations Foundation, World Bank, OECD and World Health Organization.
We focus our research on four globally significant themes that drive our programmes and ignite our teamwork:
- Responding to Climate Change
- Public Health (Non-Communicable Disease)
- Global Higher Education and Research
- Understanding Cultures
Within each of these areas is a collection of high-quality collaborative research programmes involving a number of WUN member universities along with other academic institutions, government, international agencies, foundations and industry.
In order to achieve collective objectives, WUN draws upon the combined resources and intellectual power of its membership. By creating new opportunities for international collaboration, WUN enables members to extend the reach and scope of their research and establish lasting partnerships that enrich their work.
