Volunteer Academics Sharing Knowledge

Across Borders

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.
