At no time has it been more important to knit that to problem-based learning in real world sites of professional practice. Deep connections to the professions and accreditation agencies remain important, and so do research and evidence-based approaches.

Education faces big challenges. The most urgent has been to adapt teaching delivery and programme design to new modes of learning, making the most of new interactive approaches and online learning. The sector has invented new ways to accommodate critical analysis, problem-based learning and reflection on practice, balancing individual and group work. Educators found ways to read international students offshore, connecting them to Australian learners and to Australian sites of practice. Deep connections to the professions and accreditation agencies remain important, and so do research and evidence-based approaches.

Academic and research leaders are looking for better ways to explain the quality, benefit and impact of their work, to funders and to potential partners, in government, industry and the community. They are seeking new ways to extend and explain their influence within their disciplinary fields and outside the university. Researchers are looking for focus, sustainability and scale, and for a share of research investment and infrastructure. They need to build leadership and support early and mid career colleagues.

In teaching, they are looking for new models for engagement with industry and community, including new collaboration spaces, physical and digital. They are adapting to internationalisation, while connecting to place. They are aiming to attract students to unique learning experiences: students who will live and work in ways we are just beginning to imagine.
