History

The Regional Universities Network was formed in October 2011[http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/regional-universities-network-finds-collaboration-easy/story-e6frgcjx-1226519686552 Regional Universities Network finds collaboration easy, The Australian HES 20 November 2012] as a response to the regional focus for higher education of Australian government. Many of these universities were part of a previous group, known as the "New Generation Universities". The current Chairperson of the Network is Professor Nick Klomp, of Central Queensland University.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

On 29 May 2019, Charles Sturt University has announced it will join the Regional Universities Network (RUN), becoming the seventh member of the group.{{cite web |title= Charles Sturt University to Join Regional Universities Network 29 May 2019 |url=https://news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/charles-sturt-university-to-join-regional-universities-network |website=www.csu.edu.au |accessdate=29 May 2019}}
