The University of Melbourne has a long term goal to be one of the finest universities in the world. Growing Esteem is the University's strategy for achieving high regard and for making distinctive contributions to society.
The strategy is conceived with the metaphor of a triple-helix; three strands of core activities, each sharply focused and well-resourced, and all mutually supportive.
The core activities of the University of Melbourne are research and research training, learning and teaching and knowledge transfer.
Following the June 2009 release of Refining Our Strategy: A discussion paper that invites involvement and response and the subsequent consultation process, the University's Council is now considering a revised Growing Esteem strategy document. In the interim, The University of Melbourne Plan 2010 will guide our activities for the current year. For more details see, Refining Our Strategy.
