The Forum promotes the expression of values that underlie the mission of public universities in an era of internationalization. It assists in creating new models of cooperation in education, teaching and research. Drawing on shared themes reflecting the issues faced by public universities, the Forum promotes cooperation on education and research projects involving the academic staff of member universities and their post-graduate students. Every year, it organises a doctoral Summer School and fosters multilateral student exchange programmes. This year, the Forum includes a meeting in which deans and experts from the faculties of Chemistry of member universities will debate about international collaboration from the perspectives of teaching and research activities.  

Besides Nankai University (People's Republic of China), which presides the consortium, current IFPU members are: the University of Barcelona (Spain), the Mohamed V University - Agdal Rabat (Morocco), the University of Montreal (Canada), the Charles University in Prague (Czech Republic), the University of Bologna (Italy), the University of Bucharest (Romania), the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Lodz (Poland) and the University of Auckland (New Zealand).
