The World Academia Network (WAN) is a global community for educators, administrators, and staff across academia. We provide support, recognition, and growth opportunities, helping you thrive in your role and shape the future of education.

Together, We’re Strengthening Academia Worldwide.

From Africa to the world, WAN is connecting academic professionals who inspire, guide, and lead future generations. Our vision is bold: every institution supported, every staff empowered, every nation influenced.
