Universitas 21 is a 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.[1][2][3] It was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1997 and has grown to include twenty-six member universities in seventeen different countries and territories.[4] Together, there are 1.3 million students and 210,000 academics and researchers associated with these universities.[5]
The universities collaborate on many levels of undergraduate and postgraduate research, and several hundred students per year participate in the student exchange programmes, known collectively as the U21 Student Mobility Programme.
In 2001, in association with Thomson Learning, Universitas 21 formed an online university called Universitas 21 Global, with its headquarters in Singapore. The program is administered by U21pedagogica Ltd., which is chartered in Guernsey and headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. Thomson Learning became Cengage Learning, then sold its entire 50% in U21Global share to Mauritius-based Manipal Universal Learning International for an undisclosed sum in 2007.
Since 2012, Universitas 21 has commissioned the "U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems". Produced by researchers at the University of Melbourne, this ranking aims to show which countries create a "strong environment" that allows universities to contribute to growth, provide a high-quality student experience and help institutions compete globally.[6] It evaluates the standing of national higher education systems by providing rankings in four broad areas: resources, environment, connectivity and output. The rankings are then combined to provide an overall ranking.[7]
Universitas 21 is a United Nations Academic Impact Partner. [8]
