International Network of Universities

The International Network of Universities (INU) is a global consortium of higher education institutions that actively seek international partnerships and experiences, create innovative programming and delivery methods, and embrace the internationalization movement. Members must have a strong commitment to internationalisation, innovative teaching and learning methods and research. New members can only be admitted according to INU criteria and procedures. Member universities are based in Argentina, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the US.[1]

Vision Mission Values

Vision

To be a vibrant higher education network that combines the resources and perspectives of its members in mutual support of the advancement of globally engaged citizens.

Mission

The INU is a global platform where members work collaboratively to provide transformative experiences that continuously advance the global engagement of students, faculty, and staff.

Value Statement

We value the development of globally engaged and socially responsible change agents who commit to understanding and addressing the complexities of global and local political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental challenges.[2]

Network Activities

University members of the INU Network enjoy a range of benefits which include a calendar of exciting international programs and events which students can attend. This not only focuses on the goal of creating global citizens but increases universities’ overall student mobility metrics. The INU brings its members together by encouraging bilateral agreements to increase student exchanges.

Activities include:

Student Seminar and Master’s Summer School for Global Citizenship and Peace

International Student Conference on Global Citizenship

Henry Fong Award for Global Citizenship and Peace

International Internship Program

Administrative Staff Shadowing

Research Seed Money Fund

Researcher Mobility Program

Governance

The council is the supreme decision-making body for the network. However, for day-to-day running the council elects an executive committee which is aided by the secretariat.[3] The INU Constitution can be found here.

Council

The INU is governed by a council on which each network member has a seat. Each member is entitled to one vote per institution on proposals presented. Membership on the council is institutional. The council is chaired by the INU president. The presidency of the network is currently held by James Madison University. The council meets bi-annually, and meetings are hosted in rotation amongst the network members.[4]

Secretariat

The administration and coordination of INU activities are handled by the INU secretariat. The secretariat follows the presidency of the network, hence it is currently located at Kingston University, London, United Kingdom.

gollark: Also, Python libraries generally seem to be imperative stuff with a thin OOP veneer which makes it slightly more irritating to use.
