Our Work

A voice that only represents is a lobby. A voice that only reacts is an echo. WUF was created to do more than either: to help the world’s universities decide, together, what they must become, and then to help each of them get there.

Its work has one agenda, Re-Imagine the University, built on six shifts. It is organized in five areas of work and fourteen domains of university life, and it serves the whole ecosystem around the university, from presidents and ministers to students and thinkers.

• Re-Imagine the University: the agenda WUF brings to the global table.
• The six shifts: where universities stand today, where they must go, and how WUF helps them move.
• Five areas of work: academic diplomacy, data and intelligence, innovation and technology, inclusive leadership, resilience and continuity.
• Who we serve: four circles, one table.
• The fourteen domains: every part of university life.

REACT is how WUF works. Re-Imagine the University is what that work is for.
