2012年成立的组织

英国教育联盟

英国教育联盟（UK Education Network, 简称UEN）成立于2012年，是一个由来自英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰、北爱尔兰的70所科研型大学组成的在科研、教学、知识转化等各方面开展横向合作的全球性大学联盟组织，其活动均以促进大学之间学术合作以及大学与企业及社会的合作为主。

2006年11月16日，“南京大学——南安普敦大学联合中心”成立,下属有海岸海洋与环境动力联合实验室传染病和公共卫生联合实验室、高等教育联合研究所。该中心成为继中美中心、中德所和中加学院之后南京大学又一实体对外合作基地。南京大学吴稚伟教授与荷兰乌特勒支大学、英国利兹大学、约克大学、南安普敦大学、谢菲尔德大学的专家们将在干细胞和组织工程领域建立合作关系。

南京大学物理系环境材料与再生能源研究中心与英国谢菲尔德大学从2005年起建立了良好的合作关系，并就“染料敏化太阳能电池”的研究与谢菲尔德大学材料工程系展开了紧密的合作。此外，南京大学还在艾滋病和公共卫生领域、高等教育、当代中国研究、犹太学研究、化学领域和大气科学领域和世界大学联盟成员进行密切合作。

合办暑期学校，这方面的经费由欧盟提供支持。由世界大学联盟成员学校发起组织的“全球化视角下的中国”暑期学校，旨在对从事“现代中国研究”专业学习与研究的博士研究生及部分学者，进行广泛的研究技能培训，并提供国际学术交流的平台。

暑期学校先期计划举办四期。第一期暑期学校于2006年7月由南京大学和利兹大学在中国南京联合主办，由南大历史系承办，共有48位学员参加培训。共建孔子学院。2007年1月南京大学作为中方合作学校与谢菲尔德大学在英国共同开办了“孔子学院”。

两校签署了关于共建谢菲尔德孔子学院的《执行协议书》，将以多种形式支持孔子学院的建设与发展，力图将谢菲尔德孔子学院建设成为英国北部和中部的一个汉语教学和中国文化宣传的中心，同时它也将成为在英国中小学推广汉语教学和培训中小学汉语师资的重镇。

人员交流。南京大学欧盟中心和挪威奥斯陆大学达成共识，合作培养戏剧研究方向的博士生。2007年上半年，南大欧盟中心的2名研究生赴挪威奥斯陆大学进行为期一个学期的交流学习。

2006年9月，南大物理系博士生李彬彬参加UEN全球交换项目，赴英国约克大学电子系交流。南京大学校长陈骏表示，国内高校与国外高校之间合作时，要提升自己的实力，拥有充分的发言权和自主权，在此基础上要和强有力的合作伙伴展开合作，更好地促进自身发展。

About The UEN Member Universities

UEN creates new multilateral opportunities for international collaboration in research and graduate education. It is a flexible, dynamic organisation that uses the combined resources and intellectual power of its membership to achieve collective international objectives and to stretch international ambitions.

UEN is made up of 70 member universities from across The UK

.Benefits

The value of UEN is revealed through its core strengths, which include: trans-national research, tacit knowledge, innovation, global collaborations, education, and the sharing of resources. All of these strengths enable UEN to adapt quickly to changing trends in globalisation and the resulting challenges that require input from higher education networks like UEN. Thus, the network is in a position to transform knowledge and basic research into innovative technology and methodology to improve the quality of life around the UK.

Developing a vibrant network collaborating on a diverse range of projects

Currently UEN has over 85 research initiatives in its portfolio. More than 400 research faculty are active in these initiatives with many more taking part in conferences, workshops and virtual seminars. The collaborations enable participants to extend the reach and international scope of their research and establish lasting partnerships that enrich their work. Outputs include joint publications, shared modules on Masters degrees, and a coordinated approach to funding.

Many of our initiatives encourage the participation of postgraduates either through organised activities targeting early stage researchers, through mentoring or by providing postgraduates with tools to enable them to establish their own networks in a virtual environment.

UEN faculty can apply for modest amounts of funding from the UEN Research Development Fund to spark collaborative activities. These funds are supplemented by contributions from members’ own international research development programmes.

Nurturing high impact research communities tackling problems of global importance

In 2012, UEN rolled out its Global Challenge concept. UEN Global Challenges are collections of high quality UEN collaborative research programmes – each involving a number of UEN and other world-leading academic partners in the programme area – which are expected to contribute significantly – in the short or longer term – to addressing the issues of global significance identified in the Challenges.

UEN Global Challenges are also a means of promoting new or existing UEN collaborative research programmes to potential funders, policy makers and the world more generally by emphasising the impact that these programmes will have on issues of concern to them.

Currently, UEN is focussing its resouces on 4 Global Challenges:

·Adapting to Climate Change

·Global Higher Education and Research

·Public Health (non-communicable disease)

·Understanding Cultures

Fostering a world leading graduate education programme for the next generation of innovators

UEN has current and archived virtual seminar series on 70 themes. These seminars are available to faculty and postgraduates for use in teaching and research. They give postgraduates and early stage researchers in particular the opportunity to engage with world-leading experts in their fields and to interact with a diverse, international audience.

Through the Research Mobility Programme, postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, as well as junior academics, can develop their careers through experiencing other research cultures across the Network. The RMP gives early stage researchers access to expertise and rare resources or specialist equipment that is not available within their own institutions.

UEN member institutions encourage participation in the RMP either by making funds available specifically for travel and subsistence related to research visits or by integrating RMP into international research programmes.

How to become a member

Largely due to its governance structure, membership of UEN is limited and by invitation only. However, the Governing Board encourages UEN researchers to extend the geographic and cultural scope, and academic capability for specific projects beyond the boundaries of the Network.

Institutions wishing to be considered for membership might like to consider what it takes to operationalise UEN locally.

UEN Governance

Secretariat

UEN is managed by a Secretariat, which is responsible for the operations, communications and strategy implementation of the network.

Company Secretarial and financial management services are currently provided by specialists from the Universities.

Partnership Board

The Partnership Board provides entrepreneurial leadership of the company within a framework of prudent and effective controls which enables risk to be assessed and managed. The Board sets the strategic direction and vision of the company, its culture, its values and the behaviours it wishes to promote in conducting its business.

The Board comprises the Presidents, Vice-Chancellors or Rectors of the member universities and the UEN Chief Executive. Collectively, the Board has considerable international influence and ensures that UEN is recognised as a leading global higher education network.

Activities

Researchers across the UEN organise a variety of activities to strengthen their collaborations. These take place in both the physical and the virtual environment. Generally, our activities are for research faculty and postgraduate students. UEN facilitates undergraduate student exchange aswell.

Networking

Virtual environment

UEN provides an ideal environment for researchers to become accustomed to working across distances and time zones and with colleagues who are active in different cultural and economic environments. Our researchers use many tools to communicate. These range from email discussion lists to telephone conferences and desktop video conferencing. Websites and data archives enable communities to share resources and files.

Conferences and Workshops

Faculty are encouraged to organise international meetings to further their research aims. Funding for these events can be incorporated into a Research Development Fund application or come from institutional funds to encourage international collaboration but researchers are also encouraged to look for resources from outside of the Network.

Experts from outside of the UEN are often invited to collaborate in specific research activities - both virtual and physical. Unfortunately, the Network is not able to provide finances to assist with participation of non-UEN members.

Teaching and Learning

Many UEN collaborations include activities that produce resources for use in teaching or which provide early stage researchers with opportunities to develop presentation skills. Different research communities share modules on Masters degrees, develop archives of virtual seminars for use in teaching and postgraduate research, as well as providing virtual Master classes Undergraduate and organising international summer schools.
