The ACU in Sri Lanka

30th January 2024

15:30 - 16:30 (UTC+5:30)

Online via Zoom

The ACU has had a long and deep history of collaboration with universities in Sri Lanka. We currently have 29 members in the country with whom we work in a range of different areas.

To further strengthen relations with members, the ACU is delighted to host an exclusive virtual event to connect with its members in Sri Lanka. We will be sharing some of the key opportunities and benefits available to staff and students at member universities to connect, learn and influence.

It will also be an opportunity for Professor Colin Riordan, the Secretary General of the ACU, to meet and interact with vice chancellors in the country, and share more about the work the ACU is undertaking.
