Leap: UNSW Technology Powering Progress for All

What to Expect

Progress for All set an extraordinary ambition for UNSW. Every pillar depends on technology that is connected, coherent and capable of moving at the pace UNSW now requires. Leap is our response, a whole-of-university strategy for how technology will power progress, not just through projects, but by building the shared technology conditions we need for impact.

Leap is an invitation for all of us responsible for technology, no matter where we are, to work together as one landscape. This launch marks the beginning of that collective journey.
