The Regional Universities Network (RUN) is a network of seven universities primarily from regional Australia, as well as campuses in the Australian capital cities and some international campuses.
[2] The Regional Universities Network was formed in October 2011[6] as a response to the regional focus for higher education of Australian government.
Many of these universities were part of a previous group, known as the "New Generation Universities".
The current Chairperson of the Network is Professor Nick Klomp, of Central Queensland University.
[citation needed] On 29 May 2019, Charles Sturt University has announced it will join the Regional Universities Network (RUN), becoming the seventh member of the group.
