Global Engagement

Office of the Provost

Partnerships

International engagement is an indispensable part of life at the University of Rochester—from our lecture halls and performance spaces to our community partnerships and outreach programs.

But we’re committed to doing more. That’s why we are:

  • Expanding international partnerships in research.
  • Increasing opportunities for our students to study and work abroad.
  • Connecting with major emerging universities from around the globe.
  • Adding study abroad opportunities in Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific.

International Partners and Agreements

Collaborations with our international partners and institutions are essential to the success of our global activities. The University of Rochester has developed formal partnerships in over 30 countries around the world.

Global Partnership Fund (GPF)

The GPF was established to promote research and scholarly collaboration across the globe, focusing on relationships that are scalable and sustainable and will likely lead to future research and academic outputs (e.g., joint publications, grants and other funding, co-teaching, etc.). Awards are available primarily to support University academic and research faculty to offset the costs of international research and teaching collaboration, either at Rochester or abroad.

Worldwide Universities Network (WUN)

The University of Rochester is a member of WUN, a consortium comprising 24 global universities. WUN facilitates interdisciplinary research groups, supports overseas research visits, and organizes various events, conferences, and seminars. Learn more about how we collaborate with the WUN.
