Strategic Plan - Future Making
Our Strategic Plan, Future Making, challenges the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide to realise its potential for South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, and to claim its place as a truly global university on the world stage.
Our vision is for the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide to be known as a social, cultural, and academic thought leader—an accessible, responsive and responsible corporate citizen designing and building a better future for all.
Our purpose is to be a catalyst for innovation and knowledge creation; an engine of social advancement; and an active participant in the local, national, and global economies.
The Future Making 2024-2025 update builds on our strategic purpose from the past few years to strengthen our institution for our students, staff, and community.
The Foundational element of a stronger culture is reinforced by the addition of a First Nations Strategy and steps to foster a sense of belonging for all staff and students. The inclusion of a Decision Framework will simplify institution-wide operations and activity to improve efficiency, manage priorities for change, and maintain financial prudence in our transition to Adelaide ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
The five Pillars that form the structure of our Future Making strategy remain:
- Connected to the global world of ideas
- A magnet for talent
- Research that shapes the future
- A 21st century education for a growing community of learners
- The beating heart of Adelaide.
Future Making aligns the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s global connectivity, research scholarship and human potential with the social, intellectual, and economic needs of young people, South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, and the nation.
Our updated Strategic Plan will position us to transition to the new Adelaide ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ from a position of strength, with momentum for long-term success to secure a better future for our community and South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
