By bringing together science and engineering, our new College of Science and Engineering is where discovery and creativity collide to catalyse innovation and to drive transformational change. This allows us to harness the synergies and momentum gained from the recent integration of Science and Engineering. Central to this transformation is a unique blending of the breadth, depth, and interdisciplinarity of the expertise within our College, to provide a transdisciplinary learning experience for our graduates of the future; science and engineering graduates who are creative, inquisitive, agile and distinctive.Our overarching strategy focuses on growing the scale and quality of our education and research offerings, and particularly offerings that draw uniquely on our interdisciplinary strengths and those of our colleagues across the University, and increasing our international profile and reputation. Moreover, we will enrich our people through an enhanced student experience and a respectful work and learning environment, progress significantly plans for a new science building, and lead the University towards its green lab certification target and carbon neutral target by 2030.In setting out our strategy, we draw from our passion for discovery and creativity to define what we will do and how we will do it. We are a research intensive college and our research informs our teaching.In particular, we will focus our research and innovation strength and ambition across four distinctive areas.• Curiosity and discovery: Nurture curiosity, fundamental discovery and high-risk blue sky research• Innovation for health: Accelerate understanding of disease and provide disruptive solutions for health• Decisive Data: Develop innovative data-driven approaches to inform decision making and benefit society.• Sustainable Futures: Lead the transition to a sustainable future through innovation solution development.
