Universitas 21 (U21) is the leading global network of research-intensive universities, working together to foster global citizenship and institutional innovation through research-inspired teaching and learning, student mobility, connecting students and staff, and wider advocacy for internationalisation. Collectively, its 25 members enrol over 1.3 million students and employ over 220,000 staff and faculty. Their collective budgets amount to over US $25 billion and they have an annual research grant income of over US $6.5 billion. All U21 member institutions are research-led, comprehensive universities providing a strong quality assurance framework for the network’s activities. The network’s purpose is to facilitate collaboration and cooperation between the member universities and to create opportunities for them on a scale that none of them would be able to achieve operating independently or through traditional bilateral alliances. The University of Edinburgh was a founder member of U21 and participates in a number of its activities. Find out more Visit the Universitas 21 This article was published on 2024-06-24
