Griffith University is excited to announce its membership to the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), a significant step reflecting our commitment to global collaboration in research and education.
The Worldwide Universities Network is a non-profit consortium of 23 research-intensive universities founded in 2000. It provides financial and infrastructural support to member universities to support international research collaboration.
Griffith University is dedicated to creating meaningful, sustainable partnerships and engaging globally with organisations that share our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
The decision to join WUN followed a thorough analysis of international university networks, ensuring our values and mission align with those of WUN and by becoming a WUN member, Griffith aims to enhance the network's collaborative efforts, particularly in sustainability, health, and social inclusion.
Professor Carolyn Evans said Griffith's strong strategic partnerships throughout the Asia-Pacific region will bolster WUN's global outreach, fostering interdisciplinary research and supporting impactful initiatives that tackle pressing global challenges.
"We are delighted to join WUN and to be part of a global network of outstanding universities dedicated to addressing key global challenges. We look forward to impactful, collaborative, and purpose-driven partnerships with fellow members."
WUN Executive Director Peter Lennie said Griffith University's strong commitment to international research collaboration, along with its unique strengths that complement those of existing members, makes it an exemplary partner.
"I look forward to working with Carolyn Evans and her team as we embark on this exciting journey together."
Griffith University and WUN share the common goal of forging connections enhancing research capabilities and contribute to addressing global issues through shared knowledge and innovation.
