The International Alliance of Research Universities is a strategic drawing together of a selected group of research-intensive universities that share similar values, a similar vision and a commitment to educating future world leaders. The alliance is comprised of ten universities, including Australian National University and: ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) Zurich; National University of Singapore; Peking University; University of California, Berkeley; University of Cambridge; University of Copenhagen; University of Oxford; University of Tokyo; and Yale University. The long-term aim is to seek corporate/foundation/government support for research projects; possibly convene a forum to share knowledge about the commercialisation of research and the legal and academic framework in each country; work jointly on benchmarking; and develop shared positions on key public policy issues.
