Aims
The 1994 groups aims are:
- Maximise the groups influence in policy making and decision by increasing the visibility of the group
- Attract the highest calibre of students and staff through international awareness of member institutions
- Maximising income to the members through teaching and research excellence
- Co-operate on practices that increase student and staff experience
- Collaborate to create services that allow members to adapt rapidly and flexibly with the dynamic market of higher education
Further to these aims the group has a set of shared values; that maintaining traditions and cutting-edge research are not mutually exclusive; internationally recognised universities ought to have a role and contribute on all scales; high quality research should be supported with high quality teaching and all students and staff from any background should be able to develop in a conducive atmosphere and environment that maximises their potential.
