Founded in 1946, in a spirit of post-war optimism, its role was to help realise Australia’s potential as the world recovered from a global crisis.
Today, the ANU works not only to ensure our national prosperity, but to help Australia to tackle the complex challenges facing humanity, like the climate crisis and global pandemics.
They lead Australia with foresight and a commitment to making the world a better place, as a diverse and dynamic community that inspires minds and different perspectives.
ANU has a responsibility, as the national university, to be a university that Australia trusts. This means they are a community that is inclusive and open to all people who have the talent and passion to succeed, regardless of their background. Their campus is one that seeks to reflect its nation and region.
They connect talented minds, by fostering a sense of community on their beautiful bush campus in the heart of the nation’s Capital. The campus is a meeting place for the community to converge and collaborate, as First Nations people have done on these lands for thousands of years.
Connections are important to ANU. They connect both locally, with ties to the Australian Government and policy makers who enable the researchers to help shape national policy, and on the international stage, where their trusted experts act as a conduit for Australian contribution to the global community.
It can be difficult work, but it’s work they proudly do – because connecting talented people with diverse perspectives, equipping and encouraging them to address the most complex of tomorrow’s problems, and ensuring Australia’s future is not just their approach – it’s also the national role and international responsibility as Australia’s national university, and it’s a responsibility from which they will never waiver.
