This alliance exists to make significant advances in knowledge and understanding in areas of global concern.
By fostering and encouraging collaboration between members, Worldwide Universities Network (or WUN) brings together the experience, equipment and expertise necessary to tackle the big issues currently facing societies, governments, corporations and education.
WUN is a select group of research-intensive universities, which have agreed to carry out research and research training on a collaborative basis. Through a number of programs, WUN provides support to member universities to facilitate student and staff exchanges, the development of international training programs and collaborative research work.
Resources available
WUN supports personal and academic growth through the Research Mobility Program, which allows postgraduate students and staff at member universities to spend time at other institutions in the network. It enhances the learning experience and internationalises curricula through the development of e-learning theory, practice and programs. It organises regular online seminars that are available to staff and students.
Seminars are delivered by leading academics with themes and topics ranging across the research spectrum.
