Queen's has officially renewed our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Matariki Network of Universities (MNU), an international alliance of six leading, like-minded institutions of which Queen’s has been a proud member since its founding in 2010.

The renewed agreement, signed by all six member institutions brings Queen's, Durham University, University of Otago, University of Tübingen, Uppsala University and the University of the Western Cape together for another five years of collaboration in research, teaching, leadership, and social responsibility.

• Academic, student, and professional mobility 
• Cross‑institution research networks 
• Sharing best practice and benchmarking 
• Advancing social responsibility globally 
• A strong, values‑led governance model 

The Matariki Network of Universities offers a wide range of opportunities for the Queen’s community members to connect and collaborate with partner institutions around the world.
