A gift to the College is a gift to the future. Every donation supports us to progress ideas, advance research, build learning opportunities, and create value for the community.
Our priorities
The world needs new types of engineers, environmentalists, computer scientists, science communicators, mathematicians and designers to actively shape tomorrow’s world rather than accepting today’s limitations.
Your generosity will support the College’s mission to create national capacity and drive positive transformation across the technological, societal and natural systems in which we live..
The College aims to cultivate talented individuals within an inclusive, supportive environment, and to grow in diversity. Our students, like those in many STEM university cohorts, are far from representative of the full diversity of the population from which they come and which they will ultimately serve.
We seek to transcend traditional boundaries by integrating diverse disciplines, stakeholders, and mental models.
To do this, we need your help.
How your support will make a difference
The College general fund is one of the ways we can count on the support of our community to achieve this vision. It allows the College to fund unique opportunities as they arise and support areas of greatest need. This flexibility supports the College to nurture people to go out into the 21st century world and find the right kinds of problems, the solving of which are truly transformational.
Your donation will have an immediate impact by supporting our priority initiatives.

Host an intern
Internships and work placements for students (both in Australia and abroad) benefit all involved. Our interns broaden their horizons and make valuable contacts. They also enhance their technical and communication skills, and gain professional work experience. As an industry partner, you will help to shape the careers and aspirations of engineering and computing graduates. You can also assess the abilities of students before recruitment rounds. More information: Find out more about our internships and work experience or becoming an Internship Host.
Engage our students on a group project
Our programs connect students from Australia’s top university with real-world clients and users. By taking part, you can contribute to our curriculum and see great ideas come to life. Get involved with our TechLauncher or Engineering Capstone initiatives; or speak to us about what collaboration you have in mind.
Sponsor an event
We welcome sponsors for our events and activities. This includes career events, networking activities, and national or international engineering and computer science competitions. These are valuable opportunities to meet our students and make connections.
Become a mentor, guest speaker, or volunteer
We invite graduates, staff, industry, government and research partners to share your stories and knowledge. Speak to us about mentoring and public speaking opportunities. If you are an ANU graduate, you can also give back through the ANU alumni volunteer network.
Connect with us on social media
Follow us on social media to stay up to date with the latest news, research and events. Join the conversation and help us think about what our world will be like in 2050, as we shape a new intellectual agenda.
