The launch of our technology strategy marks an important moment in UNSW’s progress for all journey.
The UNSW Strategy: Progress for All sets a bold ambition for the University: to lift opportunity, accelerate discovery, strengthen communities and deliver impact at scale. Technology is central to making that ambition real – not as a backdrop, but as one of the core enablers that shapes how students learn, how research advances and how our people work every day.
“When the technology conditions are right, technology fades into the background in all the right ways, and people can focus on the work that matters,” said Dr Chrissy Burns, UNSW Chief Information Officer.
Leap is how UNSW is responding to that challenge. It sets a shared direction for how technology across the University — in faculties, divisions, research environments and central teams — comes together to create the technology conditions for progress.
The launch celebrated more than a new strategy. It marked a shift in how we move toward shared foundations, collective momentum and technology as a shared responsibility.
“When the technology landscape is connected, you can build once, reuse often and scale what works,” said Professor Julian Epps, Dean of Engineering, during the launch panel
Leap will be supported by a Technology Collective, bringing together people from across UNSW who want to stay connected to, and help shape, how technology supports progress for all.
The technology strategy recognises a simple truth: if technology touches your work, you already play a role in shaping UNSW’s technology future. When we align our technology choices — big and small — we strengthen the conditions for progress for all.
