Partner Programs

Through strategically targeted external engagement initiatives on a regional, national and global basis, James Cook University seeks to establish and foster collaborative, productive and mutually beneficial partnerships and alliances, which contribute to JCU achieving its strategic priorities.

From JCU’s regional location in the Tropics, relationships will be sought with learning and teaching, research organisations, industries, employers and appliers of new knowledge wherever they may be around the world.
