As a network of leading universities linking the Americas, Asia, and Australasia, APRU (the Association of Pacific Rim Universities) brings together thought leaders, researchers, and policy-makers to exchange ideas and collaborate on practical solutions to the challenges of the 21st century.
We leverage our members’ collective education and research capabilities into the international public policy process. Our strategic priorities focus on: providing a neutral platform for high-level policy dialogue; exploring innovative solutions for a sustainable future; and supporting diversity, inclusion, and minorities.
APRU’s primary activities support these strategic priorities, focusing on critical areas such as global health, sustainable cities, disaster risk reduction, women in leadership, Indigenous knowledges, artificial intelligence, and more.
