Our Work
Who we serve
University leadership, policy and public bodies, industry and investment, students and society.
Universities do not exist on their own. Their future is shaped by everyone who leads, funds, regulates, equips and depends on them. WUF brings this whole ecosystem to the same table, in four circles.
University leadership
Presidents, rectors and vice-chancellors; chancellors and board chairs; provosts and vice presidents for research; chief operating officers and general secretaries; heads of technology, innovation and quality.
Policy and public bodies
Ministers of higher education and of education; parliamentary education committees; national higher education councils and accreditation bodies; research councils and public funding agencies; the education leaders of international organizations.
Industry, technology and investment
Leaders of education technology and learning platforms; heads of education at technology companies; academic publishers and analytics companies; the employers who hire graduates; investors in education.
Students and society
Student and youth leaders; alumni networks and civil society organizations; thinkers, authors and independent experts; the media that tell the story of higher education.
When those who make education policy sit at the same table as those who lead universities, education stops being a regulated sector and becomes a shared global priority.
Every circle has its seat in the World University Family. Find yours.
