Following on from the revised Statement of Strategic Intent and the new University Plan, the JCU – The Future Taskforce will chart the course to create a University that has a sharper focus on the tropical agenda; is more impactful, more relevant and more engaged.

Our aim is to deliver on the promise our University made more than 40 years ago – to deliver programs, conduct research and provide genuine leadership on issues of importance to the peoples of the tropics in northern Queensland, northern Australia and worldwide. At the same time we will remain true to our commitment to provide courses of study to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

To achieve this end we must reassess our operations and consider the structures and financial mechanism that need to be in place to support our core business and give effect to “One University, Two Countries, Three Tropical Campuses”.

The project will be consultative with a variety of mechanisms utilized to engage with staff, students and external stakeholders. Your input will be vital so please take the opportunity to be involved when and where you can.
