Global Response Platform

UK universities acting together in response to crises

Sector-wide Crisis Response

UK universities could play a pivotal role in supporting displaced students in crisis. But they have limited bandwidth to develop new solutions, find partners, and coordinate activities.

Led by Mosaik, the Global Response Platform enables UK universities to act together in response to crises through sector-level coordination, shared programmes and pooled resources.

What is the Global Response Platform?

A way for UK universities to act together in response to crises affecting students and higher education overseas. It has four core functions:

Coordinate for action

Dedicated Mosaik staff align commitments, follow up on delivery, curate best practice, and provide technical support.

Match responses to needs

We provide context briefs, connect universities to local partners through our international humanitarian sector networks.

Create joint programmes and share resources

We facilitate the design of joint delivery between UK universities and use of shared platforms, and infrastructure.

Evidence impact and mobilise funding  

We support universities to measure collective impact and leveraging collaboration to advocate for funding.

How it supports UK universities

Universities act faster, share resources, and strengthen the impact of their international responses

Response Alongside Peers

Universities can join coordinated delivery alongside other universities to enhance their impact and reduce costs.

Lighten staff workload

Global Response Platform functions will university staff figuring out how to respond and who to work with. Universities can focus on what they do best: teaching and learning.

More sustainable initiatives

Pooled resources, collective fundraising, and stronger local partnerships will improve longevity of initiatives.

Share impact with stakeholders

Enhance reputation and global profile; communicate impact to boards, alumni, and translate activity into rankings.
