Bio21 Institute Our support of world-class multidisciplinary research continues to increase. Now almost fully operational, the visionary Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute brings together over 400 scientists from the University, biomedical research institutes and industry. In 2006 Australia’s largest biopharmaceutical company, CSL Limited, agreed to relocate up to 50 scientists to the Institute under a research innovation partnership with the University. During the year a high-level working group set priorities for future crossdisciplinary research at the University, to be boosted by funding from a newly established Future Generation Fund. Outstanding Undergraduate Intake In 2006 Melbourne again experienced high demand for its undergraduate places from outstanding students, resulting in a median ENTER score for Victorian school leavers of 94.30, 5.45 points higher than the closest Victorian university. Under the guidance of the Melbourne Experience Committee, plans for development of new types of learning spaces throughout the University are well under way. A prototype of a new collaborative learning classroom located in the Chemistry building was completed in 2006 featuring advanced information technology, audiovisual equipment and virtual laboratories. Sites for multi-purpose ‘learning hubs’ have been identified, a schedule for future development prepared and concept design for the first ‘Eastern Learning Hub’ approved. By combining resource centres, learning spaces and recreational areas in the one precinct, these hubs will promote an inclusive academic environment with increased opportunity for peer interaction. In a significant development expected to make day to day life easier for students, an online ‘one-stop shop’ student portal system was developed during 2006. Students will be able to access email, timetables, online teaching and learning tools, academic advice and programs, library accounts and other essential University services through the portal. Public Funding The University’s consolidated income of $1.28 billion in 2006 was up by 5.8 percent on 2005, due largely to continuing growth of fee-revenue and research and investment income. Commonwealth funding now represents only 40 percent of the University’s total income. Overall, Melbourne has been successful in achieving a 13.3 percent increase in unit-of-resource funding since 2003. The University’s financial strength has been confirmed by the continuation of its Standard and Poor’s credit-rating at AA+, the highest rating available to an Australian university. Global Opportunities Melbourne strengthened its engagement with the international community during 2006 under the leadership of the newly created position of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International). The University participates in global opportunities and the sharing of knowledge in many ways – through Universitas 21, international partnerships and some 80 bilateral agreements with universities around the world. The Melbourne Community Gamelan, a set of bronze gongs and xylophones at the University, originating from central Java, are used for teaching music students and by Indonesian music enthusiasts from the community for public performances. Bachelor of Music student Lam Lut Hei is pictured on gongs with gamelan master Ki Poedijono and Dean of Music, Associate Professor Cathy Falk. The University of Melbourne Annual Report 2006
