MORE ABOUT OUR PARTNERS

UGPN Research & Collaboration

The research fund has been instrumental in catalysing researcher interactions across the UGPN and has funded 114 projects including 39 trilateral and 9 quadrilateral projects representing an investment in excess of US$2.5 million.

A Global Centre for Clean Air Research

Researchers developed a methodology for integration of local urban scale pollution data into global/regional scale models of pollution hotspots, health impacts, low-cost pollution sensors and human exposure.

Resilience and diversity in early childhood development

Key researchers across the UGPN network teamed up to develop and co-ordinate studies on early childhood development with the specific aim to build the foundation for a quadrilateral cohort study in due course.

Genes and Behaviour: circadian rhythmicity and sleep

This project brought together scientists across the UGPN network with interests in different sub-disciplines related to genes and behaviour to exchange experience, insights, and experimental tools.

Flexible Functional Nano-Carbon Electrodes for Energy Devices

Investigators from three UGPN partner universities are working together to discover new sources of energy for wearable applications and devices.

The University Global Partnership Network (UGPN), established in 2011, is a consortium of four research-leading universities across four continents. Through international collaboration and impact-orientated research, this valuable network is dedicated to addressing global challenges and responding to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the alignment of shared interests and ambitions, and the leveraging of complementary expertise and resources, this focused network brings together colleagues from across the globe, facilitating cutting-edge, relevant and implementable research, as well as innovative education, to develop solutions to global challenges in local contexts
