CORE Global Partnership Network
Building bridges for international scientific and scholarly cooperation
The CORE Global Partnership Network is an international cooperation framework of the International Core Academy of Sciences and Humanities. It connects universities, academies, research institutes, learned societies, laboratories, think tanks, cultural and educational institutions, and other partners committed to the advancement of knowledge, science, scholarship, and education for the benefit of humanity.
Grounded in CORE Academy’s mission as an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit, merit-based academy dedicated to the sciences and humanities, the Network provides a flexible platform for academic exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, public knowledge initiatives, and long-term institutional partnership. Through this Network, CORE Academy seeks to work with partners around the world to support serious scholarship, responsible innovation, international scientific dialogue, and the shared pursuit of knowledge across disciplines, regions, and intellectual traditions.
A Platform for Purposeful Cooperation
In an age of rapid scientific transformation and global uncertainty, international cooperation is essential to the vitality of science and scholarship. Many of today’s most important questions require sustained dialogue across institutions, disciplines, regions, and cultures.
The CORE Global Partnership Network is established to encourage constructive cooperation among institutions and scholars who share a commitment to academic excellence, integrity, openness, and service to humanity. The Network is not a rigid alliance or a one-size-fits-all membership scheme. It is a flexible cooperation framework through which CORE Academy and its partners may explore suitable forms of engagement according to shared interests, institutional capacity, and long-term academic vision.
