Main Content

UGPN Combined logosThe University Global Partnership Network

The University Global Partnership Network sets out to create a foundation for international collaboration enabling academics and students from some of the world’s top universities to work together on issues of global importance.  North Carolina State University, the University of São Paulo and the University of Surrey were the founding partners of the UGPN.

The mission of the UGPN is to develop sustainable world-class research, education and knowledge transfer through an active international network of selected Universities collaborating in research, learning and teaching to benefit global society.

The UGPN focuses on two priority areas: (a) promoting global graduates: student experience and employability and (b) promoting research with global impact. 

 

Call for Proposals 2012

The University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) is pleased to announce the inaugural Call for Proposals to the UGPN Research Collaboration Fund.  This Fund will support high quality research collaborations between researchers at the UGPN partner institutions.  The intention is that these awards go beyond pump-priming to support substantive engagement that leads to high quality outputs, such as joint papers or joint research bids.  Proposals should be jointly submitted by faculty from at least two of the UGPN partner institutions. 

The deadline for applications is Friday March 30, 2012 Monday, April 16th at 5:00 PM (NO late submissions will be accepted).
