Our Story
In today’s interconnected world, international partnerships are vital for advancing education, research, and innovation. However, these collaborations are often impeded by the complexities of diverse regulations, rigid institutional frameworks, and administrative inefficiencies that vary across countries and universities.
Recognizing these persistent barriers, IUN was officially founded on August 3, 2022, in Jakarta, by a distinguished group of academic leaders, including rectors, vice rectors, and former rectors. These visionaries, armed with extensive networks and unparalleled experience in the global education sector, established IUN as a solution to streamline international cooperation. This initiative enables higher education institutions to overcome traditional obstacles and seize new opportunities in an efficient, cost-effective, and seamless manner.
At IUN, we are committed to transforming the way universities collaborate by offering a robust and resource-efficient platform for academic partnerships. Our mission is to provide members with access to a suite of benefits, including academic exchanges, research collaborations, and professional development initiatives, while simplifying processes and reducing costs traditionally associated with such endeavors.
By fostering mutual growth and innovation, IUN aims to build a globally connected academic community that empowers students, faculty, and institutions to excel in an increasingly globalized education landscape. IUN is honored to have Dr. Dian Alanudin, MBA, GRCE, as its Chairman. A seasoned academic leader and accomplished professional, Dr. Dian brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to IUN’s mission of advancing global higher education.
