Of the Region, for the World; of the World, for the Region

As we stretch our reach across the world through teaching, and through our extensive international research collaborations, UEA’s Civic Charter will ground us and unite us. Ultimately, our civic roots and activities are all about the people who cultivate them and the people who benefit from them.

The university looks forward to collaborating with friends and partners as we look to the future and work towards our ambitions for the region and beyond.
