A celebration of Warwick's global community, impact, connections and opportunities
As One World Warwick March 2026 draws to a close, I am incredibly proud of how our community has come together to celebrate Warwick’s global connections, opportunities, and impact. Over the past month, we’ve highlighted the many ways our university reaches out across the world, from inspiring future students through our open day activities, to supporting current students in accessing transformative international mobility, educational and career experiences, to empowering colleagues as they build innovative research collaborations with partners worldwide. We have also continued to bring global leaders together here in the UK, at our Warwick Venice Centre, and around the world to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
A particular highlight has been the launch of our new Warwick India Network (WIN), which brings together the many researchers, educators and innovators across our University already working with Indian partners to strengthen our shared global impact. This new network reflects the breadth and depth of Warwick’s longstanding academic and cultural connections with India, creating a vibrant community where expertise, ideas and ambitions can come together.
Thank you to everyone who has connected, collaborated, celebrated and explored new perspectives with us throughout March. Your engagement embodies the spirit of One World Warwick and strengthens our globally minded community. As you continue your journey, I encourage you to explore the news, highlights and opportunities featured on this page, from global partnership developments to new mobility schemes and upcoming activities, each offering further ways to engage with our international community and deepen your global outlook.
