AUF, the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, is the agency for Francophone universities in 119 countries. The AUF works towards universities who are actively engaged in economic, social and cultural development of societies.

AUF, a Member of the IAU, has a long history of cooperation with the IAU. Most recently, together with the Association of Commonwealth universities, all three organisations have partnered together to strengthen joint collaboration to advance and promote the contribution of higher education to meeting our shared global challenges and have issued a joint Statement on Higher education’s essential contribution to the SDGs.

AUF partnered with the IAU to provide support for the 5th Global Survey on Internationalization of Higher Education and is also working together with IAU in the follow-up project to the survey on internationalization in francophone countries.
