Australia Africa Universities Network (AAUN)

The Australia Africa Universities Network (AAUN) is a group of leading universities in Australia and Africa, connecting researchers and academics through institutional partnerships in order to address challenges facing both continents.

Led by Professor John Hearn from the University of Sydney and Professor Tawana Kupe from the University of Pretoria, the network fosters the growing relationship between Australia and Africa by building on current educational links between the continents.

At a time when the environment is ideal for building successful partnership with African countries, the AAUN aims to further the Australian Government’s commitment to revitalising its relationship with Africa.

The establishment of the AAUN is integral in enabling Australia and Africa to work together creatively and innovatively to find new solutions to long-standing challenges.
