Explore how Australia’s university museums and collections work better with their tertiary education institutions in a time of crisis.

Throughout 2025 the Council of Australian University Museums and Collections (CAUMAC) will host events exploring "Ways of Working" and examining the relationship between Australia's university museums and collections and the tertiary education institutions that host them. In a time of profound difficulties for Australia's Higher Education sector we will explore some of the creative and ideal ways that university museums and collections have been used and outline pathways for future collaborations in Australia.

In the inaugural event for the year, join us to explore some of these themes with a curated panel of experts.

The event will consist of a series of lightning talks by colleagues from a range of Australian universities exploring case studies of projects and programs of collaboration. This will be followed by an hour panel featuring representatives of Australian university museums and collections and university administrators who will explore the role of museums and collections within the broader landscape of 21st century Australian higher education.

More details, including presenter details, to come.

This event can be attended in person or by live-stream via Zoom. Registrations essential.
