The Union of Golden Enlightenment is a league of highly-prestigious Zhouranese universities that was created on November 17, 1908. The group consists of ten elite research-intensive influential universities and is associated with academic excellence, social prestige, and a strong emphasis on research.
Out of all the universities in Zhouran that are members of the UGE, three of them are part of the Elite University Alliance, which is a league of three world-class highly-prestigious Zhouranese universities. Created on February 5, 1981, it consists of Jiakang University, Kecheng University, and Kenong University.
All of the universities listed above are considered to be Zhouran's most prestigious universities. Members of the UGE are listed in the world's top 20 best-performing universities with the three members of the EUA being in the world's top 10 list. With the UGE and EUA being widely-known internationally as the "Ivy League of Asia" and "Zhouran's Answer to Oxbridge", both are considered to be Asia's leading university alliance with member universities being leading institutions of research in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The average Zhouranese university is known to be of very high quality, rivaling other foreign universities especially in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However both the UGE and EUA form the top elite of Zhouranese institutions of research & learning. Every year, Zhouran publishes over a whopping 300,000+ and more scientific papers annually, the highest in the world. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Zhouran strongly play an important role in Zhouranese culture, society and identity, having a long history in Zhouran since ancient times and producing numerous significant developments and discoveries in various scientific disciplines. The Zhouranese strongly focus on various fields of science and technology such as physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, biology, medical science, astronomy, aeronautics, astronautics, geology, military science, and geography, as well as other disciplines such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, shipbuilding, civil engineering, agronomy, physiology, theoretical nuclear physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering, nuclear technology, military technology, software engineering, mechanics, weapons engineering, mechatronic engineering, communications engineering, photonics, electronic engineering, computer science, materials science and engineering, information systems, information technology, chemical engineering, space engineering, telecommunications, and electro-optics.
With science, engineering and mathematics strongly emphasized academically, the Zhouranese produce important researches, developments and contributions to numerous disciplines. Backed by numerous universities across the nation along with various research institutes in scientific research zones and scientific research clusters (commonly nicknamed "Silicon Forests") as well as having a technical-oriented highly-rigorous and highly-competitive environment, Zhouran leads in the forefront of science and engineering. The uses for scientific knowledge and cutting-edge technology in Zhouran vary, ranging from further innovating fields such as nuclear research and space exploration, to helpful everyday implements such as nanobiotechnology and automated work robots, all the way to military uses such as creating a vast array of highly-sophisticated military equipment.
In Zhouran, the percentage of women studying at university in STEM fields is one of the highest in the world. Not only that, Zhouran also has one of the highest percentage of women studying vocational trade in the world. This isn't surprising since being a meritocratic society that values social mobility and labor participation & social contribution, both men and women are traditionally expected to work and earn money rather than relying on a sole breadwinner.
