Universitas 21 (U21) is a network of research-intensive universities. [1][2][3] It was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1997, with 11 members, and has grown to include twenty-seven member universities in seventeen different countries and territories.[4]
The universities collaborate on many levels of undergraduate and postgraduate research, and several hundred students per year participate in student programmes.
Since 2012, Universitas 21 has commissioned the "U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems". Produced by researchers at the University of Melbourne, this ranking aims to show which countries create a "strong environment" that allows universities to contribute to growth, provide a high-quality student experience and help institutions compete globally.[5] It evaluates the standing of national higher education systems by providing rankings in four broad areas: resources, environment, connectivity and output. The rankings are then combined to provide an overall ranking.[6] The ranking is then adjusted by GDP per capita, which allows countries to be compared to others at a similar stage of economic development.[7]
Universitas 21 is a United Nations Academic Impact Partner.[8]
