As cooperation among BRICS member countries expands across multiple sectors, education has played a key role in facilitating the exchange of policies and practices that strengthen academic partnerships. Since the establishment of the BRICS Network University (BRICS NU) in 2015, with the institutional mission of facilitating joint research initiatives, student and faculty exchanges, and policy coordination, BRICS nations are shaping new opportunities for international collaboration in the field of education. For international educators, understanding these developments provides valuable insights into emerging opportunities for deeper university partnerships, fostering academic mobility, and enhancing cross-border cooperation in higher education.
