Today, CAUL releases its 2026-28 strategy which aspires to achieve a transformed, equitable scholarly system that enables open knowledge and serves the public good.
Through a collaboration of the CAUL Board, Council and Office, the new strategic plan focuses our work over the next three years on the following priorities:
- Transform knowledge ecosystems for equity and access
Using CAUL’s collective power to reshape scholarly publishing so it’s fairer, more inclusive and better aligned with sector priorities and public good.
- Enhance the university library sector’s voice and value
Strengthening CAUL’s influence by showing the impact of academic libraries in research, education and public life.
- Commit to Indigenous partnership
Commitment to building respectful partnerships with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander and Māori communities, guided by their priorities. Working closely with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander and Māori leaders to prioritise what is most impactful for Indigenous communities, as determined by those communities themselves.
