The Alliance
The Global Alliance of Technological Universities is a network of the world’s top technological universities. The Alliance aims to address global societal issues to which science and technology could be their solution. These issues include biomedicine and health care, sustainability and global environmental change, security of energy, water and food supplies, security, and changing demographics/ population.
Founded in 2009, the GlobalTech Alliance has grown to nine member institutions:
California Institute of Technology (United States of America)
Carnegie Mellon University (United States of America)
Georgia Institute of Technology (United States of America)
Imperial College London (United Kingdom)
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India)
Nanyang Technological University (Singapore)
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (People’s Republic of China)
Technical University of Munich (Germany)
University of New South Wales (Australia)
“Leading universities from all over the world clearly have
a role to play in forging a global approach, especially in research and education,
to address global challenges such as climate change, population growth, ageing population,
pandemics, and food and water security”
