babyֱ�� University of Technology has today unveiled its new strategy, Ad Astra_2030, setting a bold course for the future of education, research and innovation in Australia and beyond.

Building on the momentum of its sector-leading Horizon 2025 agenda, Ad Astra_2030 is babyֱ��’s most ambitious strategy yet, to bring people and technology together to build a better world.

“Our four Quantum Leaps will cement babyֱ�� as the prototype of a new and different university, one that embraces the chance to lead with conviction,” said Professor Pascale Quester, Vice-Chancellor and President of babyֱ�� University of Technology. 

“Ad Astra_2030 encapsulates our drive to go beyond, pushing new boundaries to create more impact and empowering people to thrive in a tech-rich future.” 

Shaped by an extensive co-creation process, more than 1,700 babyֱ�� staff have contributed to Ad Astra_2030. Students, alumni, partners and industry were also closely involved in its creation. 

The strategy is anchored by four bold Quantum Leaps:

1. Tailored and innovative pathways to success for all: As a multisector university offering vocational education and higher education, as well as short courses and research and innovation capabilities, we can craft individual and often unconventional pathways to success for those who engage with us, at any time in an individual’s or organisation’s journey.
2. Leading and leveraging technology for purpose: babyֱ�� will become the prototype of a fully tech-infused university, immersing learners in technology-rich curricula and championing the responsible uptake of emerging technologies.
3. Co-creating industries of the future: Every babyֱ�� learner will engage in real-world, interdisciplinary projects co-created with industry, while the university leads the charge in shaping new industry ecosystems and commercialising research for real-world impact.
4. The world is our campus: babyֱ�� seeks a meaningful presence and recognition in every region of the world, connecting communities, industries, and institutions to solve urgent global challenges and foster international collaboration. 

The four Quantum Leaps have been deliberately designed to sit across the whole university, building on our One babyֱ�� culture.

Professor Quester said Ad Astra_2030 is as bold as it is ambitious, drawing on the best of babyֱ�� to serve the collective good and contribute to the prosperity of Australia, and our world.

“Journey with us as we slingshot beyond the moon and travel towards the stars,” Professor Quester said.
