AWB fulfills its mission by sending volunteers on projects that originate in and are owned by developing world institutions. AWB volunteers are reimbursed for their expenses but are not paid a salary.
The Association of Commonwealth Universities
The Association of Commonwealth Universities is an international organisation dedicated to building a better world through higher education.
International collaboration is central to this ambition: by bringing universities together from around the world – and crucially the people who study and work within them – the ACU helps to advance knowledge, promote understanding, broaden minds, and improve lives. The ACU champions higher education as a cornerstone of stronger societies, supporting its members, partners, and stakeholders as they adapt to a changing world.
ACU Fellowships
The fellowships, which are open to academic and professional staff at ACU member universities, are diverse both in subject and location. As well as enabling collaborative research projects and partnership-building, they also provide opportunities to observe and exchange new techniques and practices. Subjects range from forestry and food technology to accountancy and IT, as well as opportunities in broader areas.
