Staff
Whether academic or professional, staff are critical enablers of the activities of the University of Melbourne. As researcher, teacher or professional staff, University staff undertake activities that permit our priorities to be achieved.
The research and research training strand concentrates on the University’s research performance; research training performance; and cross-disciplinary, inter-institutional and international research. None of these would be possible without highly skilled staff.Learning and teaching is the strand within which staff concentrate on delivering a learning experience for students, including the Melbourne Model. This includes coursework coherence and quality; a Melbourne experience for students; and meeting our social mobility goals.
Knowledge transfer is about direct two-way interactions between the University and its external communities, involving the development, exchange and application of knowledge and expertise for mutual benefit. The activities staff undertake enable us to deliver on knowledge transfer; build an international reputation for scholarship; and undertake whole-of-University knowledge transfer activities (incl. partnerships, commercialisation, alumni and cultural collections).

About Growing Esteem
What is Growing Esteem?
- Growing Esteem is the University of Melbourne's strategy, developed with extensive consultation around the University in 2005. It sets priorities for the University - a continuing focus on research, learning and teaching and an expanded focus on knowledge transfer - and envisages a "triple helix" in which the three strands of research, learning and teaching and knowledge transfer are closely bound, each reinforcing the other.
Why is it called 'Growing Esteem'?
- The name Growing Esteem is derived from the University of Melbourne's motto, postera crescam laude, from Horace's famous ode. A common translation is "I shall grow in the esteem of future generations". The name Growing Esteem reflects the University's desire to ensure its reputation and contribution in decades to come.
