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.

Famous quotes containing the word aims:
“A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1829–1910)
