International Collaboration

IARU is an alliance of 10 of the world's leading research universities: ANU, ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore, Peking University, University of California - Berkeley, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, University of Tokyo and Yale University. It is a strategic drawing together of universities that share a similar vision and have a commitment to educating future leaders.

New - IARU Global Summer Programme

The IARU Global Summer Programme (GSP) offers a new learning experience for students at the 10 leading research universities. It provides intensive, residential summer courses to students from IARU member universities.

Building on longstanding connections between academics, Oxford and Princeton entered into an agreement in 2001 to further strengthen ties.  The two main components to the relationship, student exchange and research collaboration, are now joined by a third, a joint postdoctoral programme in global political economy.

Student exchange: every year, 10-15 students of biochemistry, history, engineering, physics and philosophy, from each university, spend a half or full year at each others university.

Research collaboration: each year, the two universities provide seed funding for joint research projects between their academics.

NEW - Global Leaders Fellowship Programme 

Oxford and Princeton have just launched this exciting new postdoctoral programme in world politics and political economy, for scholars from developing countries. Six fellows will be appointed each year starting in 2008, and will spend one year at Oxford and one year at Princeton.

The Oxford-NIH Biomedical Research Scholars Programme was started in 2001 in recognition of the fact that the most innovative and exciting biomedical research is increasingly a global and collaborative process. The programme is an interdisciplinary venture, leading to a doctorate, and is designed to train outstanding students in various areas of biomedical research. Students split their time evenly between two world-class research centres - Oxford and the NIH - and are supervised by leading researchers in both places. Scholars (6-8 per year) are fully funded and must be US citizens or permanent residents with a US bachelor’s degree.
