\par The dawn of the twenty-first century comes with a digital revolution and economic globalization with a New Econ
omy.  We are moving towards a global knowledge society where information, skills, and competence become the driving forces of social and economic development.  Effective learning can be greatly facilitated by upgraded multimedia educational materials usin
g
 broadband Internet applications.  The use of these applications for global e learning and telehealth/telemedicine must be efficient and cost-effective, enabling educational institutions to foster global citizenship and achieve "education and healthcare f
o
r all" at anytime, anywhere and at any pace.  The Internet will be the main telecommunication media of tomorrow.  Broadband Internet holds great promise for improving multimedia e-learning and telehealthcare capabilities in global scale, especially in rur
al and isolated areas that are not well served by commercial network providers.}{\f7\fs20

\par The Global University System (GUS) was formed during our highly successful International Workshop and Conference on "Emerging Global Electronic Distance Learning" held in Augus
t, 1999 at the University of Tampere in Finland, with financial supports from the World Bank, the US National Science Foundation, Finnish Ministry of Education, etc..
\par 
\par The goal of the GUS is to improve the global learning and wellness environment for peopl
e in the global knowledge society where the global responsibility is shared by all.  A central theme is the sharing and exchange of knowledge among educational, research, industry and trade sectors.  The GUS will (1) seek open, egalitarian and culturally 
t
ransparent methods to achieve improved learning and healthcare worldwide, cooperating closely with people around the world, (2) harness the emerging technologies of broadband Internet connectivity among institutions of higher learning in developing countr
i
es to provide learners of all ages with global e-learning across national and cultural boundaries, (3) nurture the intellectual development of youngsters around the world through creative competition for excellence with affordable and accessible broadband
 Internet, (4) coordinate and facilitate national and international regional systems which will support and complement the traditional institutions of learning and healthcare, by using conventional methods in tandem with advanced electronic media.
\par 
\par The GUS 
has group activities in the major regions of the globe, i.e., Asia-Pacific, North, Central and South Americas, Europe and Africa to establish pilot projects.  Each of these regional groups, with partnerships of higher learning and healthcare institutions,
 will foster the establishment of GUS in their respective regions, with the use of an advanced global broadband Internet virtual private network which to be financed by the Global Service Trust Fund (GSTF).
