A platform for multilateral academic collaboration among BRICS nations
Welcome to BRICS-NU – the BRICS Network University. A platform for multilateral academic collaboration among BRICS nations.
BRICS-NU is a collaborative initiative that brings together leading higher education institutions from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. As a network focused on academic and research cooperation, it promotes joint programs, mobility, and interdisciplinary knowledge exchange among BRICS nations.
With its Executive Secretariat jointly coordinated by UNESP (Brazil) and the Harbin Institute of Technology (China), BRICS-NU supports a multilateral academic platform that fosters inclusive, innovative, and sustainable development.
BRICS-NU comprises a growing list of universities and research institutions from across the BRICS countries. These institutions collaborate within a shared vision of internationalization, academic exchange, and thematic cooperation.

BRICS-NU organizes its academic and research efforts around strategic thematic groups. Each group brings together scholars, researchers, and students working on shared global challenges in areas such as energy, IT, water resources, climate change, and more.
These interdisciplinary clusters are the heart of the network, enabling joint courses, research projects, and student mobility across BRICS nations.
The network supports a wide range of joint activities, including collaborative research projects, workshops, academic conferences, and shared educational programs.
