Gulu University proudly partners with York University, one of Canada’s leading international teaching and research institutions. This collaboration is built on a shared commitment to improving community wellbeing, advancing global health, and strengthening applied research in areas that directly impact society.

Through a formal Memorandum of Understanding, the two universities work together on joint research initiatives focused on humanitarian health, water and sanitation, and support for refugee and crisis-affected communities.
