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.

“Since he aims at great souls, he cannot miss. But if someone should slander me in this way, no one would believe him. For envy goes against the powerful. Yet slight men, apart from the great, are but a weak bulwark.”
