The Agence universitaire de la Francophonie, whose headquarters are located on the campus of the University of Montreal (Canada-Quebec), brings together 1007 universities, grandes écoles, university networks and scientific research centers using the French language in 119 countries. Created 60 years ago, it is one of the largest associations of higher education and research institutions in the world. It is also the operator for higher education and research of the Francophonie Summit. As such, it implements, in its field of competence, the resolutions adopted by the Conference of Heads of State and Government of countries sharing the French language.
