EspañolGROUP OF EIGHT (AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES)
(Redirected from Group of Eight (Australian Universities))
The 'Group of Eight (Go8)' is a lobby group for eight Australian tertiary institutions which are the leading universities in Australia. It was established informally as a network of vice-chancellors in 1994 and was formally incorporated in 1999. Some assert that it is an Australian analogue of the American Ivy League, though others dispute the validity of this claim.
All members of the group except ANU, UNSW and Monash are known as "sandstone universities", and all of their primary campuses are based within an Australian capital city.
The group, in arguing for prioritisation of research funding and in lobbying for increased funding for the largest and most popular campuses, sometimes finds itself at odds with smaller, regional and rural universities.
