Broad resource base
Adequate resources will be critical to achieving the demanding aims of quality and engagement outlined in this plan. ANU will need to grow and diversify our resource base.
As the only Australian university established under Commonwealth legislation and funded to take a national leadership role in the university sector, ANU is uniquely placed. The strategies for the future, as outlined in this plan, are based on the confident assumption that the Commonwealth Government will continue to be supportive of the activities and infrastructure requirements to meet our national goals.
Revenue growth and diversification will be achieved through growth in:
- research and consultancy income from government and private sources
- coursework education and research training
- business and industry engagement
- international engagement.
Some measures of success
- Over the period to 2020, ANU will increase revenue for operations at an average rate not less than 3 per cent per annum in real terms.
- By 2015, the percentage of University revenue from non-Commonwealth sources will increase to 40 per cent, rising to 45 per cent in 2020 (compared to approximately 36 per cent in 2011).
