·¬ÇÑÉçÇø is defined by the Tropics. We are unique among Australian universities, woven into the intellectual, economic and social fabric of our tropical location and set amid irreplaceable ecosystems and cultures that fire our intellects and imaginations.

Our aims are challenging but attainable. Marshalling our broad intellectual strengths, we seek knowledge-based ways to help the world’s tropical regions prosper.

The University Plan (PDF, 2025 KB) expresses how we intend to respond to the challenges facing ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø and the Australian higher education sector over the 2018-2022 period. A thematic approach has been adopted, highlighting the primacy of our academic ambitions via the Academic Plan and identifying the services and capabilities required to fulfil these.

Definitive actions are prioritised according to those which can be enacted now and those which will be implemented later in the life of the Plan. We have also highlighted areas of innovative practice or exemplars, showcasing the wonderful work which is being undertaken across the University which is sometimes overlooked amidst our day to day work.
