I note there are more UK institutions than elsewhere. Is it a UK-based body? - in which case it might have used existing contacts between Commonwealth institutions to get itself started....

I understand there's still a lot of contact between British, antipodean and North American universities, even to the extent that an Australian girlfriend I had thought nothing of going to London to do a music MA as she claimed (rightly or wrongly) that she couldn't do it in Australia. She had the benefit of British grandparents, of course, and so had no problems coming to live in the UK permanently either.

I think that this sort of exchange (along with free trade) is exactly the thing that is most likely to make greater FC cooperation an attractive idea for ordinary antipodeans. I've mentioned the FC idea to a few people who have shown little enthusiasm until I brought up the possibility of their kids studying in Edinburgh or Montreal as easily as if it were Hobart Melbourne or Auckland.

What I find encouraging about Universitas 21 is that it shows how linked we already are.
