Universities UK

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Universities UK is an interest group of British universities. It emerged in the 19th century from the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals of the Universities of the United Kingdom (CVCP) . At that time it was an informal meeting between the Vice Chancellors of some British universities. The first official meeting took place in 1918. At that time the organization consisted of 22 members. Since then, the number of participating schools has grown, not least due to the reform in 1992, when all polytechnics were given university status. Today the aim of Universities UK is to support the work of universities and to represent their interests. The organization now has 128 members and is based in London .
