In 2002, the hallmark of The Australian ¾«¶«´«Ã½app University was not just the pursuit of excellence, but its attainment.
The University demonstrated excellence in planning and vision as well as in its research and education activities.
Amidst a fundamental review of higher education by the Federal Government, the ANU established a three-year vision— ANU to 2005 — for its development, setting tangible university-wide targets and delivering a blueprint to fortify the foundations of the University.
