The Knowledge Equity Network
Imagine a world in which human knowledge is shared more equitably. Imagine what we can achieve if we work together.
We are a collaborative community of engaged institutions, organisations and individuals across the world. We need to act intentionally to change the way we share knowledge to make the most meaningful impact, for the benefit of all.
Our goal is to tackle global challenges through opening access to ground-breaking research and research-led, challenge-focused education.
We live in a time of climate crisis, economic instability, inequity, poverty and forced population displacements. These are challenges that threaten the health and wellbeing of people all over the world.
The global Higher Education sector can tackle these challenges, but only when knowledge is shared, unhindered by barriers of cost, time or national borders.
The Knowledge Equity Network encourages collaboration over competition in a culture of equity, diversity, inclusion and openness. We believe transformational change is possible.
Working in a global partnership and by sharing the power of knowledge, we will create a fairer and better world.
