Updates on consortium activities, research developments, and collaborative initiatives.
HUC Officers play a fundamental role in the operation and development of the Consortium. Led by the HUC Secretariat, they foster the exchange of ideas, support the development of new proposals, and help transform those initiatives into concrete projects that are later brought to life through HUC’s various working groups.
During the 2026 General Assembly, university leaders, researchers, faculty members, and students shared experiences in academic cooperation, discussed common challenges across the Americas, and explored new opportunities for collaboration in research, education, and sustainability.
The meeting brought together university leaders from North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean in Bogotá to review the Consortium’s progress and formally welcome new member institutions.
All donations to the Student Emergency Fund will directly support our students as they adapt to changing circumstances.
