Focus areas

The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) prides itself on leading on the discursive issues in international higher education, promoting international cooperation and the sharing of good practice among our members.

Drawing on our own and our members' experience and expertise, and working with university leaders and administrators, we deliver new and innovative programmes and promote dialogue, professional networking and international exchange relating to a range of issues facing Commonwealth universities.

Our main focus areas are:

• Early careers
• Gender
• Open science
• Research management and uptake

Through our work, we support the advancement of scholarship and academic research, helping member universities to strengthen their support to the communities they serve – now and into the future.
