Take Your Seat

Membership

What every member receives

One family, shared benefits.

Whatever the role, every member of the World University Family receives the same core benefits. Each role then adds its own, as described on its page.

  • Gatherings

  • Recognition
  • Connection

What it means

  • A place in the family and a voice in its priorities.
  • WUF reports, data and benchmarks on the university world.
  • Places at WUF summits, forums, workshops and digital roundtables.
  • Frameworks, training and certification for leaders and staff.
  • A stage for achievements, through WUF awards and publications.
  • Partners and peers in every region of the world.

How your voice travels

Membership is not only a place in a list. It is a channel through which the experience of each member reaches the places where the future of universities is decided.

  1. You speak. Members answer surveys, take part in polls and discussions, and share their experience.
  2. WUF listens. WUF brings the voices of all members together, by region, by type of university and by stakeholder.
  3. WUF speaks. WUF carries the shared positions of its members to governments and international bodies.
  4. You see the result. WUF reports back to members on what was said, where, and what changed.

What every member can expect from WUF

  • Independence. Membership never puts a member on any side.
  • Equal standing. Every member is treated with the same respect, whatever its size, wealth or place.
  • Openness. Fees, roles and benefits are published openly on W-U-F.org.
  • Care for data. What members share is used to serve universities, reported in combined form, and handled with care.
  • Balance. WUF works continuously for balance across regions, types of universities and stakeholders.
  • Delivery. WUF reports to members each year on what the family has achieved together.
