What We Do
We support the goals and aspirations of universities in countries across the Indo-Pacific by identifying, recruiting and supporting suitably qualified and motivated academic volunteers.
We match the academic teaching and research needs and priorities identified by our university partners with volunteers who are, or were, career academics. Volunteers may be current, soon-to-retire or recently retired academics from accredited universities.
We partner with Australian professional societies, institutes, learned academies and universities to recruit academic volunteers.
We partner with the Australian Volunteers Program, which is an Australian Government-funded initiative that supports global volunteering.
We fundraise to support a sustainable program of placing academic volunteers in partner universities.
