The Southern African Regional Universities Association is a regional membership association for public universities in the 15 countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It was established in 2005 as a membership based association for 66 universities.

SARUA aims to assist in the general revitalization of higher education in Southern Africa and specifically to enhance and build the senior leadership capacity of SADC Higher Education institutions, enabling the sector to effectively respond to regional development challenges.

Since its inception SARUA has undertaken a number of baseline research studies in the region to investigate key higher education issues facing the public universities in Southern Africa, including size issues, funding issues, open access and science, technology and ICT. It has also hosted webinars on ‘Incentives for and barriers to societally impactful research’.
