The University Design Institute (UDI) partners with universities, governments, foundations, and higher education leaders across Africa to co-design more resilient, digitally connected, and future-ready institutions. Our work combines long-term partnerships, research, leadership development, and practical implementation support that builds on local strengths while connecting institutions to global ideas and partnerships.
Every institution's journey is unique, but the questions facing higher education leaders are remarkably consistent. How do we prepare our universities for a rapidly changing world? How do we move from vision to implementation? How do we harness emerging technologies responsibly? And who will lead this transformation?
We work alongside institutions to answer these questions through four interconnected areas of expertise; bringing together research, partnerships, and practical implementation to support lasting institutional change.
