Universities of the Netherlands
Within Universities of the Netherlands, the Dutch universities work together on building a strong university sector.

The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities
Together, twenty-one universities from various European countries form the university network The Guild. This network lobbies in Brussels for scientific research, teaching and valorisation (applying research and bringing it to market) and contributes to the debate on European research policy. Radboud University is one of the members of The Guild.
