Category: Members’ Experiences

We particularly appreciate this network because of its emphasis on technology

Coventry University joined the World Technology Universities Network about two years ago. We particularly appreciate this network because of its emphasis on technology to solve real world challenges, the commitment to the UN SDGs and the tightly focussed, committed membership.  The latter making it very easy to reach out to other members and receive a prompt and engaging response (unlike many larger networks). The congress in Chennai last year and the programme of exchanges are two highlights of the network and have been very beneficial for Coventry in building relationships with a number of international universities.

Of course, any network membership is only as useful as the effort you put into it. Active engagement in the Operational Board is key as is that commitment to responding to other network members.

WTUN’s goals seem to be aligned with our policy in many ways

Suranaree University of Technology is a university that puts an emphasis on science, technology and engineering with an aim of engaging with other universities around the globe.  World Technology Universities Network (WTUN) provides such opportunity for us to link with other institutions that share the same focus.  Furthermore, WTUN’s goals seem to be aligned with our policy in many ways, especially in improving the quality of education for the next generation of citizens in order to equip them with necessary knowledge and skills to survive through many challenges in the 21st Century.

In just about a year that we have been a part of WTUN, our university has been able to connect and have concrete collaborations with other members of the network, specifically in the area of incorporating entrepreneurship mindset into our education system.  In addition to that, collaborations in other areas such as information technology and data science have also been discussed.  WTUN will also provide a grant for its members for which we will definitely apply, so that we can continue the work on the mentioned areas.

I would really like to thank WTUN for providing such terrific support since we became a member.  I am sure that with us working together, we will be able to accomplish what we all hope for in the future.
