Crawford School strategic plan

Overview

This document sets out a strategic plan for the Crawford School. It articulates our vision, mission and purpose. It also presents a series of strategic goals and short and medium-term strategic initiatives that will enable us to fulfill these ambitions.

The Crawford School of Economics and Government is the public policy school at the Australian National University. Crawford School’s approach to public policy draws upon disciplinary excellence in the core areas of economics, governance, environment and development and deep country and region specific knowledge of Asia and the Pacific, including Australia.

Crawford School is founded on the belief that powerful academic and social outcomes can be achieved when research and education are combined, when talented domestic and international students are brought together – both in coursework degrees and short-course executive programs – and when scholars and professional staff have direct incentives to maximise productivity in pursuit of a shared institutional mission. This creates a dynamic environment where, scholars, professional staff, students, and the wider community can combine to consider and address significant policy questions and challenges that confront Australia, the Asia–Pacific region, and the world.
