4 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
Overview o f The Australian National University
M ission
T h e m ission o f T h e A ustralian N atio n al
University is to be one of the world’s great research in stitu tio n s, distinguished by o u tstan d in g teaching, guiding students to the frontiers of knowledge and the best standards of scholarship.
Goals
The goals of the ANU in achieving this mission are to:
1 Engage in research, scholarship, teaching and practice at the highest international standards
2 Foster critical enquiry and an environment that strengthens Australia’s capacity to undertake fundamental research and research of national and international importance
3 P rovide a ch allen g in g and su p p o rtiv e
environment, in which staff and students can realise their potential and develop the skills and flexibility to contribute in a rapidly changing
world
4 Enhance the quality and diversity of the University’s student intake
5 Provide undergraduate, honours, graduate and postdoctoral education at the highest international standards
6 Provide higher education courses which foster excellence and creativity and are responsive to professional and community needs
7 Encourage commitment to lifelong learning
8 Sustain in ternational links, encouraging collaborations which provide mutual benefit to Australia and partner countries
9 Make the resources and expertise o f the University accessible to other universities and research in s titu tio n s — and to A u stralian Governments, industry and the wider community — in a manner which contributes significantly to national and regional education, culture, welfare and economic development
10 Exercise an independent role in research and education related to public policy and other national issues.
Values
The University’s guiding values are:
Excellence, Creativity, Integrity, Academic Freedom and Responsibility, Collegiality, Equity, Appreciation of Human Diversity.
Structure and Governance
The University was established in 1946 to pursue research at the highest international standards. As a research university it was to u n d ertak e
‘postgraduate research and study both generally and in relation to subjects of major importance’. Undergraduate courses were introduced with the 1960 amalgamation with the then Canberra
University College. In 1992, the University amalgamated with the then Canberra Institute of the Arts. The current structure of the University is shown opposite.
The ANU’s research and teaching are funded from three principal sources: Commonwealth Govern ment grants; income generated competitively from public and private sources for research and teaching; and from full-fee paying students. The University’s Commonwealth Government oper ating grant is provided (a) to support the teaching responsibilities of The Faculties on the same basis as other Australian universities; (b) as block funding to support the special national and international roles of the Institute of Advanced Studies in research and research training; and (c) for capital works.
The University is governed by a 22-member Council comprising: ex officio, the Vice Chancellor, the Chairs of the two academic boards
and presidents of the two student associations; four nominees of the Governor-General, one nominee of the Prime Minister, one nominee of the Leader
O verview of The A ustralian National University 5
of the Opposition, and two nominees of the Chief Minister of the ACT; a member elected by Heads of Research Schools and Deans of Faculties; a member elected by the academic staff of the Institute o f Advanced Studies; a member elected by the academic staff of The Faculties; a member elected by the general staff; two members elected by convocation; and a member appointed by
Council.
Under the Council are the two academic boards, the Board of the Institute of Advanced Studies (BIAS) and the Board of The Faculties (BTF), both of which may advise the Council on any matter relating to the academic work of the University. BIAS and BTF consist of representatives from constituent areas, including the heads of the
research schools and the deans of the faculties respectively. There is also cross representation between the boards. The academic boards receive advice respectively from the faculty board and faculty o f each research school and centre of the Institute of Advanced Studies and each faculty of The Faculties. The Board of the Institute of the Arts reports to Council through BTF. There is
strong student representation on the academic decision making bodies and on the Council of the University.
T he V ice-Chancellor is the C hief Executive Officer o f the University and is responsible for overall University leadership and management of resources. The Vice-Chancellor is assisted by the
D irector, Institute of Advanced Studies and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, a second Deputy Vice Chancellor and four Pro Vice-Chancellors, two of whom, the chairs of the academic boards, are part-time appointments.
Budget decisions: The University introduced triennial budgeting in 1996. In formulating the University budget, prior to its presentation to the Finance Committee and Council for approval, the Vice-Chancellor is advised by a group broadly
representative o f the research and teaching activities o f the University. In addition to school, faculty and centre operating grants, funds are allocated to the major equipment program, the
Library, for information technology equipment and infrastructure, to the Graduate School, for
capital works and to the administrative areas which support the academic endeavours of the ANU.
University-wide strategy for the development of information technology is provided through the Information Technology Strategy Committee, which is supported by several broadly based advisory committees which interact with specific service providers. An academically based comm ittee structure ensures effective development of Library holdings and delivery mechanisms to support teaching and research needs. Funds for capital works are distributed in accordance with the University’s capital management plan. A sub stantial allocation is made within the University for both centrally and locally administered under graduate and graduate scholarships. The resources for major research equipment are distributed competitively on a University-wide basis.
The Faculties’ budget: The allocation of the recurrent grant to The Faculties occurs through a resource distribution process driven by weighted
student numbers and research performance. Planning of The Faculties’ budget is achieved through the Planning and Resources Committee
o f the Board ofThe Faculties, which recommends allocations to individual faculties. Despite press ures produced by the new formula for calculating the Research Quantum, The Faculties continued in 1996 to operate a Faculties Research Grants Fund to support promising new or younger researchers who have not yet established track records, and to ‘seed’ new projects.
Institute o f Advanced Studies’ budget: 1 he allocations to individual research schools and centres in the Institute are determined in part by their ongoing research and research training needs. Since 1987, provision has also been made to change the base level of school/centre funding
through a Strategic Developments Fund levy on recurrent budgets. The levy was at two per cent of recurrent budgets in 1996, which permitted the reallocation of about $2 million on a permanent basis.
Administrative budget: Budget allocations to the administrative divisions and other service areas of the University support the key academic goals of the University.
6 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
Vice-Chancellor’s Review o f 1996
By any measure, 1996, The Australian National University’s 50th Anniversary, was a remarkable year.
The award of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine to Professors Peter Doherty and Rolf Zinkernagel for work undertaken at The John Curtin School of Medical Research, and of the Australia Prize to that School’s Professor Graeme
Laver, were not only the source of great pride for the University but key indicators of the excellence of its research. So, too, were the many academic honours bestowed on staff during the year.
These awards are testimony to the underlying strength and quality of the ANU. The University’s path to excellence has been charted in the its
history, The Making o f The Australian National University 1946-1996, by Stephen Foster and Mary Varghese, launched on Anniversary Day, 1 August.
The three hundred events which marked ANU’s 50th Anniversary throughout 1996 demonstrated the University’s academic and cultural contri butions to the nation and to the region and its
research, teaching and interdisciplinary links with academic colleagues in Australia and around the world. The 50th Anniversary year was also marked
by the formation of an alumni association and a successful inaugural annual appeal which raised more than $100,000.
Despite the celebrations of 1996, the 1997-99 triennium budgets cuts imposed in the federal Budget, and substantial unfunded salary increases resulting from a new enterprise bargaining agree ment, necessitated that the University initiate steps
to adjust to a new financial regime. However, it remains a matter of serious concern to the Council, staff and students that budget cuts will harm the University’s ability to maintain its research and teaching programs at the highest possible inter national standards, despite our continuing efforts to increase our non-Government sourced funding base.
Our Anniversary year was one of great achieve ment in both research and teaching and the report which follows covers the significant progress of this university on behalf of the nation in 1996.

1996 Highlights
Research and teaching
Research performance
The report of the joint ANU/Australian Research Council Review of the Institute of Advanced Studies was tabled in Parliament in May 1996. Although by the year’s end the Government was
yet to respond to many of those recommendations which related to its responsibilities, the University was gratified with the Review’s key finding that no other Australian institution, and few insti
tutions in the world, can match the high standards of performance that we judge to have been attained by the schools and centres of the LAS’.
An independent measure of the research perform ance of the whole University was provided by the US Institute for Scientific Information’s assess ment of science ‘Down Under’, published in the
July/August 1996 issue of Science Watch. The ISI assessment, based on measures of total citations and citations per publication in 21 fields of science, treated the Institute of Advanced Studies as both an entity in its own right and as part of the ANU.
In terms o f total citations, the ANU/LAS ranked highest in ten of the 21 fields and, in terms of citations per publication, we were top ranked in
eight of the fields, and placed in the top three in a further seven. Taken as a whole, the results clearly indicate the research strengths of The Faculties as well as the Institute.
Research achievement
In the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, Dr A Blakers achieved a new world record for solar cell efficiency for multicrystaline
silicon substrates (18.6%). Research in the Faculty also led to the invention of the ‘epilift’ technique which enables high quality thin silicon layers to be peeled off after growth on a silicon substrate. The
substrate can then be subjected to further growth cycles. This nearly eliminates the cost of silicon substrate in solar cell modules. The method has been patented.
T he International Survey Program and the Research Evaluation and Policy Project in the Research School of Social Sciences were estab lished in 1996. The International Survey Program conducts rigorous cross-national survey research in sociology, demography, economics and politics. In
its short existence the Program has already won wide international visibility. The Research Eval uation and Policy Project has become Australia’s
leading centre for the systematic evaluation and mapping of research across all fields of scholarship.
In conjunction with research groups within Australia and from Japan and the USA, the Aero- physics and Laser Diagnostic Research Laboratory in the Faculty of Science made significant advances
in 1996 in the understanding of combustion in scamjet engines.
Research collaboration
The University has continued and strengthened its association with industry, with national and inter national research and teaching institutions, and with the community at large in order to maintain
a viable financial and conceptual basis to maintain and improve its crucial functions at the leading edge of research and teaching in its broad spectrum of disciplines.
The ANU’s research and development relation ship with Fujitsu, the world’s second largest computer manufacturing firm, is now in its ninth
year. This association has enabled the University to install a new multi-processor Fujitsu VPP300 supercomputer which, with the exception of a few similar systems in Japan, is the is the most powerful
com puter in the world to be operated by a
university. The supercom puter is facilitating continuing scientific and engineering research at the highest international standards, and has made
it possible for the University to commence a major new project in biomolecular modelling in I he John Curtin School of Medical Research.
In November, the Major National Research Facility in Synchrotron Radiation came into
8 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
existence as a registered entity and the ANU, in keeping with its commitment to collaboration with other Australian institutions, joined with the Universities of Queensland, New South Wales,
Sydney, Monash and Melbourne, together with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, in becoming the founding members of the Australian Synchrotron Research Program. The consortium is open to all universities and
research organisations in Australia. In addition, the ANU maintains links with the Photon Factory in Japan and developing a new program of research in biological crystallography, materials science and
instrumentation at the Advanced Photon Source, Chicago, USA.
The National Centre for Epidemiology and Pop ulation Health became the international secretariat for the Collaboration on Acute Respiratory Infect ions, an area of major concern worldwide. The Centre has been involved in collaborative moves
with the International Diabetes Institute in Melbourne and The John Curtin School ofMedic- al Research to promote a national register of new diabetics and permit the investigation of cluster
outbreaks to trace possible connection to enteroviral infection.
Research facilities
A number of major scientific facilities became operational in 1996. In February, the National Fusion Research Facility was launched with the first instalment of an $8.7 million grant provided
under the M ajor N ational Research Facility Program. This will allow the upgrade of the H -l plasma device in the Plasma Research Laboratory of the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, a facility overseen by a nationally and internationally representative board. The upgrade will allow to Australia maintain its significant international presence in plasma physics and fusion research.
A powerful Silicon Graphics computer was com missioned in January. The computer is operated by the ANU Supercomputer Facility on behalf of the A ustralian Cooperative Supercom puter
Facility, an A ustralian Research C ouncil- supported consortium involving most universities
in NSW and SA, and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
In July, the D epartm ent o f Nuclear Physics su p erco n d u ctin g linear booster accelerator (LINAC) was form ally inaugurated by the Minister for Science and Technology, the Hon
Peter McGauran MP. The LINAC adds to an impressive Heavy Ion Facility, which has appli cations ranging from fundamental research into structure and interactions at the nuclear level to measurement of trace environmental pollutants.
Academic links
The ANU and Oxford University and the ANU signed an exchange agreement in March. It is only the second between Oxford and an English speaking university. Amongst other things, it
provides increased access to the unique holdings of Oxford’s Bodleian Library as well as to research and teaching facilities in other areas of particular strength, such as medieval studies and biological sciences.
Teaching initiatives
W ith support from the University’s Quality Assurance program, the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology was able to make Computational Science and Engineering (CSE)
available to senior undergraduate students in engineering, com puting and physics. T his pioneering initiative recognises that computation is rapidly taking its place alongside theoretical and traditional laboratory based activities to form a third modality o f scientific and engineering
investigation. CSE requires knowledge of a variety of high performance com puting models and visualisation techniques, areas which in which the ANU has considerable strengths. The initiative is
proving to be very successful having generated considerable enthusiasm from students and interest from other Australian Universities.
1996 Highlights 9
Students and learning
Enrolments
While first preference applications for under graduate enrolment at the ANU again increased, new undergraduate enrolments for 1996 showed a slight decline over those for 1995. For the 1996 academic year, the University made 2173 offers for first-year places. The total first-year intake o f2098 reflected the trend across the nation for lower new enrolments. New postgraduate enrolments rose to
1183 in the same period, bringing the total post graduate enrolment for 1996 at the ANU to 2417. This represented almost a quarter of the total student enrolments for the University of 10143
students. O f those enrolled in graduate programs, 1063 were undertaking PhDs.
Success in competition
Students from the Canberra School of Music won awards in a broad range of national and inter national competitions, including the Metropolitan O pera Awards, the ABC Young Performers Awards, the Gisborne (New Zealand) Inter
national Music Competition, the City of Sydney Performing Arts Challenge and the Herald Sun Aria Competition.
New postgraduate courses
The first year o f the new curriculum in the Graduate Law program, with specialist degrees in Commercial Law, Environmental Law, Public and International Law, attracted almost 200 students.
The introduction of two courses per year in the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice saw more than 200 students passing through the Legal Workshop in 1996, in contrast to 80 in 1994 and
110 in 1995.
Num bers in the Master o f Business A dm in istration, which graduated its first 21 students in 1995, have continued to grow with 36 new enrol ments in 1996. The MBA program was reviewed in November by a team headed by Professor
Gordon Redding, Director of the University of Hong Kong Business School, to ensure that the program was meeting the objectives of its focus on
managing business in Asia. The report is due in 1997.
The Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies, which launched new Master of Arts and Graduate Diploma courses last year, saw its first
group of graduates in 1996. Additional units designed to expand the coverage of the regions available for study at both undergraduate and graduate level have been approved for future years.
The first Masters student from the Australian Centre for the Arts and Technology, which, in its use o f computers to create dynamic visual and art forms, is unique in Australia, graduated in 1996.
Scholarships
A number of scholarships and awards were insti tuted in 1996 to commemorate the University’s 50th anniversary. The most notable were the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies 50th Anniversary Award for the most outstanding PhD
candidate each year and the Bok Honours Scholar ship endowed by the family of the late Professor Bart Bok, to be awarded in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Program.
Following consultation with the Jabal Centre, it was decided to institute a Field Work Scholarship for an outstanding Honours Year Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student. The first scholarship was awarded to a 1996 graduate with another to
be shared by two students in 1997. Both
scholarships were generously funded by the Commonwealth Department of Administrative Services.
Postgraduate student development
The Graduate School introduced a number of new initiatives in 1996 to assist graduate students in their courses and wider professional development. It provided two full day induction programs for
research students on how to manage a research degree. In conjunction with the Centre for Edu cational Development and Academic Methods, the School ran two workshops for academic staff on the supervision of research students. I he Statistical Unit of the Graduate School conducted its first series of short courses at graduate level, free
10 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
of charge to all ANU graduate students. The Graduate Teaching Program, introduced by the Graduate School in 1995, continued to provide support and training for PhD students under taking tutoring or demonstrating at the ANU.
IT Support
In support of its goal of providing education at the highest international standard, the University undertook a comprehensive program to upgrade technology in teaching rooms. Demand for com puter workplaces increased by about 20% in 1996, and computer equipment was replaced in student laboratories.
At the same time, student support services were expanded to provide greater levels of assistance with the use of basic information technology services such as electronic mail, word processing
and Internet access. Undergraduate students are now able to access the Internet and other net worked services from 29 computing laboratories equipped with up-to-date equipment and software for a broad range o f learning requirements. Students in residential halls and colleges are able to access Internet resources through 24 hour a day connection to the campus network from labor atories in the halls and colleges or from their rooms.
Video reticulation was installed in key study areas, enabling students to improve their study of other languages and cultures, and overseas students to maintain contact with developments in their home countries through real time access to foreign language news and current affairs programs.
Encouragement o f women in non-traditional areas
Following its success in presenting a ‘W omen in Engineering’ workshop in 1995, the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology held a ‘Women in Information Technology’ workshop, opened by Senator Margaret Reid. The workshop attracted over 60 students in Years 11 and 12 attending ACT colleges and regional high schools in NSW. In addition, the Faculty held an ‘Engin eering is Your Future’ workshop for 45 Years 11 and 12 students.
Staff, Equity and Physical Environm ent
Employment
The University’s Enterprise Certified Agreement 1996-1998, negotiated in consultation with staff u n io n representatives, came in to effect in December. The University introduced a Restruct u rin g and R etirem en t Scheme (URRS) to encourage .
As part of its 50th Anniversary celebrations, the University introduced a Council M edal for General Staff Excellence.
Equity
The University’s gender profile improved through the appointment of women to two senior admin istrative positions, those of University Secretary and of Academic Registrar. Ms Margaret Ford
joined the University from a senior position in the Commonwealth Public Service and Dr Angela Delves, previously the University’s first Deputy Registrar (Student Policy and Planning), became
Academic Registrar.
The University continues to work towards re dressing identified gender imbalances in both the Institute of Advanced Studies and in The Faculties. In the Institute, appointments were made to prof essorial posts designated for women.
A Disability Action Plan for the ANU, in accord ance with guidelines provided by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission, will be developed by the Equal Employment O ppor tunity Committee for consideration by Council.
Sexual harassment
Following the report of a working party established in 1995 to review the way in which the ANU deals with sexual harassment matters, Council estab lished an Implementation Group to consider how best to incorporate and promulgate procedures to address the University’s dealings with external agencies, especially when the question o f ‘double jurisdiction’ arose. A University-wide annual
report is to be produced detailing the measures
1996 Highlights 1 1
adopted by each area for the management of sexual harassment matters.
Occupational health and safety
Occupational health and safety policies and guidelines developed over recent years continued to be implemented, especially those relating to use of computer technology, a significant growth area across all sectors of the University.
Physical environment
A master plan for campus development was prepared by the Buildings and Grounds Comm ittee, which the University submitted for approval by the National Capital Planning Authority. The
Plan provides a concise digest o f the main principles contained in the Campus Development Policy plan while at the same time providing flexi bility for the University to continue to evolve detailed plans for the campus.
Several new buildings were opened during the anniversary year. Naturalist and author Sir David Attenborough opened the ANU’s new Botany and Zoology Building. The A N U ’s M ount Stromlo
Observatory gained two new buildings: the Wooley Building, opened by the Shadow Minister for Industrial Relations and Member for Canberra,
the H on Bob McMullan MP, in February, and the Bok Building, opened by the Minister for Science and Technology, the Hon Peter McGauran MP, in November. The Hon Peter McGauran MP also opened the new Research School of Information Science and Engineering Building which will, for
the first time, bring together all members of the School in one location.
Outreach and C om m unity Service
The ANU gave particular attention to outreach and community services activities during a year long celebration of its 50th Anniversary. Formal activities to specially mark the 50th Anniversary
included a celebratory congregation and conferr ing of degrees held on 1 August, the date on which Royal Assent was given to the Act which estab lished the ANU. At the ceremony, attended by
Chancellors and V ice-C hancellors o f other
Australian universities, honorary degrees were awarded to ten distinguished academics and citizens, and the University presented gifts to the Parliament of Australia and the ACT Legislative Assembly. The ANU Alumni Association was
launched at a dinner in Old Parliament House on the same day. However, these peak events were only part of a large program of events for the benefit of the University and wider communities,
including:
⢠the ANU Anniversary Open Day wh ich attracted more than 12000 people and whose Guest of Honour was ANU graduate Kate Slatter, winner of an Olympic Gold Medal in the Women’s Rowing Team;
⢠an Australian Science Festival featuring hands-on displays and attended by over 100,000 people, mosdy school students and teachers;
⢠an exhibition of early Australian fdm in a collaboration with the National Film and Sound Archive marked the 100th anniversary of film in Australia and the University’s 50th year;
⢠special exhibitions at the ANU Drill Hall Gallery and the Canberra School of Art for visitors to Canberra and for the local community to sec some of the University’s heritage, not often on public display,
⢠a tour of works from the University’s art collect ion to regional galleries in NSW and Victoria which will end in Sydney at the end of 1997; and
⢠an exhibition of Aboriginal art from all over Australia arranged by the Jabal Centre and opened by Dr Lois O ’Donoghue.
Among the numerous book launches, a number focused on the history and face of the University, These included, in addition to the official history of the University— The Making o f the ANU, 1946-
1996—the History o f the A N U Library, Buildings and Landscapes·, and Fire in the Belly, a history of the Research School of Physical Sciences and Eng ineering. Another notable publishing event was V olum e 14 o f The Australian Dictionary o f
Biography, launched by the Governor of Tasmania in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

Academic outreach
During 1996 over 60 national and international conferences were held at the ANU, attracting over 7000 participants, many from interstate and overseas.
The Director of the Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies, Professor Armin Saikal, was appointed as a member of a five-year research project launched by the United Nations Uni versity, Tokyo, to explore the most feasible
configuration of the UN for the 21st century.
The UNESCO Visiting Fellows Centre located at the Centre for Continuing Education was officially launched and the first Fellows took up residence on campus.
Following the favourable reception of Agenda, the Faculty of Economics and Commerce founded a new scholarly publication, the Australia Journal o f Agricultural and Resource Economics.
The Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research was engaged to advise the Coalition Government on a wide range of policy matters, focussing particularly on the issues of Native Title and indigenous economic development.
As a partner in the Cooperative Research Centre on Water Quality and Treatment, the ANU’s National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health has embarked on a project to establish how the work of the Research Centre can contribute to improved health for remote Aboriginal comm
unities.
University Games
The Australian Universities Games, which were jointly hosted by the ANU and the University of Canberra, were held from 29 September to 4 October. Nearly 7,000 athletes and officials from
60 Australian and international campuses part icipated in a highly successful event.
Art and Music
Through the Institute of the Arts, the University continued to provide a significant range of creative arts services to the local, national and international community.
The Canberra School of Art mounted a special exhibition in its Gallery featuring the work of twenty of its graduates. In September/October, visual arts students and Canberra School of Arts staff undertook a study tour which included activities and workshops at the Kyoto Seika University, Japan. The School’s services to public art were recognised through it receiving the 1996 Royal Australian Institute of Architects (ACT Chapter) President’s Award.
During 1996, staff of the Canberra School of Music performed as soloists, in ensembles and with symphony orchestras in most capital cities in Australia as well as in the USA, UK, Canada,
Scandinavia, Asia and Europe. The School’s Jazz Big Band travelled to the U nited States to represent Australia at the Monterey Jazz Festival with great distinction. The Neilson Quintet, a
School of Music student wind quintet, played for United States President Bill Clinton at Parliament House in November. Both staff and students contribute substantially each year to the musical
life of the Canberra and regional community through the Canberra Symphony and Youth Orchestras, the Choral Society and the Llewellyn and Canberra Children’s Choirs.
The Australian Centre for the Arts and Tech nology was involved in the National Network for Research in Australian M usic, an A ustralia Research Council-funded project encompassing multi-media, audio, visual and animation expertise and involving the technical coordination of eight
national partners.
Educational outreach
Outreach services to the regional community are provided by programs involving public seminars, the University Preparation Scheme, bridging and continuing education courses.
In 1996, the Public Policy Program presented two series of public seminars, one entitled ‘W omen and Public Policy’ and the other ‘Issues in Environ mental Policy’. These made a major impact within the community by reaching a wide audience and fostering informed public discussion of contem porary political issues.
1996 Highlights 13
The newly-established Centre for the Public Awareness, of Science (CPAS) held the first of its series of science workshops for practicing research scientists. CPAS staff were members of the
Program Committee of the Fourth International Science C om m unicators Conference held in Melbourne and of the organising committee of Youth ANZAAS.
The Centre for Continuing Education comm enced two new programs designed to enhance its role in fostering professional development both in the ACT and in the national arena. W ith the
University of Canberra it established a Centre for Educational Leadership to provide continuing professional education to school principals, a sp irin g p rin c ip a ls and sen io r e d u catio n administrators. In partnership with three private sector firms it set up a Career Orientation and Outplacement Consultancy to provide a compre hensive, high quality advice and training service for senior executives from the Public Service facing career changes, transition or re-orientation.
The Centre also successfully organised and ran the Third National Science Teachers Summer School which was attended by senior science teachers from all Australian states and Territories, and played a
major role in establishing a conference consortium at the ANU. The consortium’s brief is to provide a one-stop professional conference service to all parts of the ANU and attract conference trade to
the ANU campus.

ANUTECH Pty Ltd 17
ANUTECH Pty Ltd
For the fourth year in succession, A N U TECH ’s operating revenue exceeded $40 million, the figure for 1996 being $43.9 million ($42.9 million in 1995). Company profit for the year ended 31 December 1996 was $151,000 (consolidated operating profit $97,927), compared with the
1995 figure of $582,623. The reduction in operat ing profit was because of legal-related items and research expenditure written off.
Donations of $150,000 were offered to the Uni versity, bringing the total cash donations returned to the ANU since 1982 to $2,979 million. In
addition, AN U TECH has contributed in-kind assistance, and funding for ANU research which now exceeds $130 million. Shareholders’ equity now stands at $7.5 million.

The Board
In changes to the ANUTECH Board, Professors Robin Stanton and Barry Osmond completed their respective terms in 1996, Emeritus Professor Ian Ross had his term extended for 12 months
from the end of December 1996, and Professor Sue Serjeantson’s term was renewed for two years from January 1997.
In replacement for Professors O sm ond and Stanton, the ANU Council approved in December the appointments of Professor Brian Anderson. Director, Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering, and Professor Richard Pashlcy,
Dean of the Faculty of Science. Dr Andrew Rastawicki, manager of Australian Scientific Instruments, joined the Board as A N U TECH ’s representative, following Dr Frans Arentz’s com pleting his term on the Board.
A Board Executive Committee was formed to deal with matters arising between Board Meetings.
M anagement changes
Major reorganisation became necessary within ANUTECH in response to staff matters and to the academic and commercial marketplaces. I he death of Mr Bob Lane, Manager of Physical
Sciences Technology Marketing, was a distressing period for the company. Organisational changes became necessary within that area following Bob’s death, and the departure of Ms Georgina Meyers.
Life Sciences and Physical Sciences, together with Technology Programs Management, were com bined into one Technology Marketing Group. Dr Lex Beardsell heads the group.
Two other Divisions, Social Sciences and Train ing, and Forestry and Environment were also amalgamated into one group, Australian Projects, Consulting and Training (APCT) to take effect from January 1997. Dr Rob Crittenden was appointed to lead this group. Internet was closed down as a Division due to lack of financial viability, and Internet-related courses moved to management by the Training area.
The Company Lawyer, Ms Marianne Dunham, left to take up a senior position with a law firm in Adelaide. Mr James Macintyre was appointed to the position.

International developm ent assistance project management
Large international development projects con stituted an important and growing area of business for ANUTECH in 1996, with several large pro jects under on-going management. ANUTECH
invested considerable resources in preparing com petitive tenders for new programs.
Two large projects continued in Papua New Guinea (PNG), funded by AusAID. The Kandrian G loucester Integrated D evelopm ent Project
achieved good progress in each of its five program areas during the year, particularly in forestry, where techniques for natural reforestation have been introduced into West New Britain province
and represent the standard for reforestation in PN G . The PN G Forestry Hum an Resource Development Project entered its second year. The Project is progressing well towards its major
objectives, including redesigning the curricula for the forestry degree and diploma courses being offered at PNG training institutions.
Other large projects ended, or neared conclusion. The Nepal Australia Community Forestry Project (NACFP) entered the final stages of Phase 4. NACFP has been acknowledged by AusAID and internationally as one of Australia’s most successful overseas aid projects.
Management services were provided for major development-related research programs at the ANU supported by AusAID grants, namely the N atio n al C entre for D evelopm ent Studies
(NCDS), and the Australia South Asia Research Centre (ASARC). Through A N U TEC H and under the umbrella of NCDS, AusAID continued to fund the Asia Pacific Literature Journal. ANUTECH provided management services for
two ASARC programs which are supported by a grant from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research.
Consultancy management
A num ber of consultancies were successfully negotiated and managed in 1996, mainly through
the areas which now form Projects, Consulting and Training group but with increasing activity occurr ing in the Technology Marketing area (see Industry Collaboration).
Consultancies through the former Social Sciences and Training, and Forestry and Environment areas included: an economic consultancy undertaken by the Asia Pacific Economics Group (APEG Pty Ltd) for the Dairy Research and Development Corporation, to analyse the prospects for supply ing Australian dairy products to China; a re-design of a project on W omen’s and Children’s Health for Papua New Guinea on behalf o f AusAID, and a consultancy on N G O Project Proposal Appraisals for Africa and South Asia, also on behalf o f Aus AID. A Feasibility Design Study was completed on
Pacific Regional V ector-B orne Diseases in Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands.
Other consultancies using ANU expertise were managed on behalf of the Foreign Investment Advisory Service (natural resource management in the Pacific), Asian Development Bank (economic
and policy analysis in the Pacific) and the World Bank. ANUTECH provided consultant, admin istrative services and office equipment for the Pacific 2010 Project, which was funded by AusAID.
Short courses and training
In 1996, ANUTECH continued to develop its program of short courses in Australia and in country, gaining overseas recognition for high quality training. Short courses held in Australia fell
into the main categories of environment and natural resources; project planning, monitoring and evaluation; and economic and public sector reform.
In the latter category were economics courses designed for officials, policy researchers and educators from countries undergoing economic and social reform. These courses formed part of a continuing program of cooperation between A N U TEC H and the MBA Program. Courses
presented in 1996 were Public Sector Management for Development, Public Sector Economic Reform,
ANUTECH Pty Ltd 19
Infrastructure Development, and Managing Budgets, Programs and Projects.
A new co u rse, Forest Conservation Genetics: Principles and Practice, was inaugurated in 1996. This brought to five A N U TEC H ’s annual courses held in Australia relating to natural resources and environmental management.
ANUTECH managed an increasing number of international study tours on behalf of various agencies. In the first h alf o f the year, 56
Kazakhstani senior officials attended a Civil Service Reform Project World Bank-sponsored study tour arranged for the Department of Edu
cation, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs. The South African Parliam entary Portfolio Committee on Minerals and Energy study tour had 12 participants.
Twelve forest scientists from Turkey visited Australia for a tree breeders and computer statistics study tour funded by the W orld Bank. A group of West Bengali foresters attended a course for tree
breeders, also funded by the World Bank, early in the year. In the second half of the year, three Indonesian groups attended separate courses in Human Resource Development, Financial Manage
ment and Accountancy, and Management Inform ation Systems.
ANUTECH also conducted in-country courses on project planning and related areas in the forestry and environment sector. Courses were held in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Fiji and Tonga. A course was also
conducted in Zimbabwe on fiscal policy and public sector reform, using ANU consultants.
A N U TEC H Education Centre
The Education Centre continued to increase its enrolments, and the students achieved a high rate of success, some exceeding the required standards by large margins. In every test conducted during
1996 all students met university requirements, and in May, a number of students satisfied the English requirements for the A N U ’s Managing Business in Asia (MBA) course.
As a measure of the steady growth of the Centre, student teaching hours increased some 18 per cent over those of the previous year, with an increase being noted in privately funded students. Two
Academic Preparatory Courses were conducted for students who had already been accepted into uni versity courses.
Study tours were perceived as an expanding area of activity, with more interest being registered from Asian institutions and agencies. Last July, 13 students from the Tokyo Institute of Polytechnics
completed a four-week intensive English course and cultural program at ANUTECH, for which they were given full credit as part of their course by their institution. An undertaking was received that this course would become a regular arrange- mcnt.
Increased resources were directed towards market ing Canberra as a first-rate destination for aca demic study, with the aim of more closely targeting the competitive private education market in Asia.
One aspect of AN U TECH ’s marketing effort was to supply agents in Asian countries with inform ation about facilities for students in Canberra, including brochures about the Education Centre's
courses and Canberra, and regular newsletters. A four-minute publicity video was commissioned, and circulated in four languages.
Technology commercialisation
ANUTECH continued actively to seek new tech nologies from the ANU. The University’s Life Sciences area in particular showed that areas of University research were still not fully tapped for their commercial potential. Among technologies w hich A N U T E C H began to m arket in ter nationally were model systems and targets for the development of therapeutics for inflammatory bowel disease, and novel approaches to asthma
therapy.
To assist in safeguarding ANU intellectual property, Technology Marketing Group devel oped a ‘Technology Disclosure Form’ designed to aid recognition, protection and marketing of
intellectual property arising from ANU research and commercialised through ANUTECH.
20 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
HARE Machine
The first commercial HARE (Helicon Assisted Reactive Evaporation) machine was launched in Tokyo by Enya Systems Ltd, and later presented by them at ‘SemiCon ’96’, a large trade fair pri
marily focusing on the microelectronics and semi conductor processing industries. The HARE system, developed in the Plasma Research Lab oratories, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering (RSPhysSE), and licensed to Enya through ANUTECH, is designed to be integrated into other systems to produce high quality films for microelectronic and other applications. At a special presentation in Tokyo, Enya’s President,
Mr Ryozo Enya commented on the excellent con tinuing cooperation between Enya, ANU and ANUTECH.
Big Dish
ANUTECH signed a $395,000 contract to build a 400 square metre Big Dish collector for Ben Gurion University in Israel, where it will be used for solar energy research.
The Big Dish system was launched by the NSW Treasurer on 16 December at ANUTECHOs Energy Research Centre before an audience of more than 80 guests, including senior represent
atives of the Australian power industry.
A pre-feasibility study was commissioned to examine the economics of building a lm W - generating dish array in conjunction with an existing power plant, together with a smaller demonstration desalination plant to treat water at the Olympic Village for the 2000 Games. The study was to be co-funded by NSW Government and the Australian company Transfield Ltd.
Industry interaction
On behalf of the John Curtin School for Medical Research (JCSMR) and the National Health Science Centre, Canberra, ANUTECH signed an agreement with biopharmaceutical investment company Biodiscovery Ltd which will direct funds of approximately $2 million over three years to wards research into and clinical trials of a potential
vaccine to prevent early onset insulin-dependent diabetes.
ANUTECH negotiated with Micromass UK Ltd to set up a collaboration between the latter and the Environmental Biology Group, Research School o f Biological Sciences (RSBS). U n d er the collaborative agreement, Micromass donated an
Isochrom oxygen analysis machine to the ANU, in return for access to research results and procedures. The instrument was commissioned in late August.
The Technology M arketing group managed consultancy services in the fields of veterinary medicine and parasitology for veterinary health companies. W ork carried out included safety and efficacy studies for new veterinary treatments. Other consultancies for industry included investi gations undertaken for Redstone Australia Mining Pty Ltd by researchers from the RSPhysSE, and gas sample analysis by the Research School of Chemistry for Robson Laboratories Pty Ltd.
ANUTECH signed a non-exclusive licence with the US company W orthington Biochemical Corp oration, relating to yeast DNA plasmid vectors developed at RSBS.
In December ANUTECH sold its total share holding in Virax Pty Ltd to the other major share holder Rancoo Ltd. Rancoo Ltd will continue to fund an R&D Program on recombinant virus vectors in JCSMR.
Funding o f A N U research
In 1996 ANUTECH funded a discovery program in RSBS for the isolation and purification of compounds to be used as a novel antibiotic. Patent applications covering these compounds have now been filed and marketing of the compounds was accelerated.
International marketing o f technology
Technology Marketing undertook three overseas visits in 1996 to investigate new markets for A N U TECH ’s products and services, present ANU
ANUTECH Pty Ltd 21
technologies, and to follow-up earlier contacts. Visits were made to Malaysia, Japan and the US. A three-week visit to the United States in July included meetings with representatives of 12
companies with interests in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and in December, 10 companies with interests ranging from information tech nology to environmental remediation were visited
over an eight-day period in Tokyo and Osaka.
Australian Scientific Instruments (ASI)
ASI implemented a variety of strategies to market its products, with journal advertising evincing particularly good results, and the Internet giving rise to other promising contacts. ASI exhibited its instruments overseas in Europe, USA and Japan, and virtually all promotional material was up graded. ASI also actively sought new products to manufacture and market, and in 1996 began discussions and preliminary negotiations with a number of Australian research organisations.
Active marketing of all instruments took place in Japan, Europe, and South Africa, at trade fairs and by personal visits. The Indian and the US markets also were investigated.
SHRIMP Ion Microprobe
The successful collaboration between the Research School of Earth Sciences and ASI was once again demonstrated in 1996. A SHRIMP II was install ed, tested and com m issioned at H iroshim a University over a period of two and one-half weeks in August.
The development and fabrication of the next gen eration of the SHRIMP microprobe, the SHRIMP RG, continued according to schedule. This instrument has been purchased by a consortium consisting of Stanford University and the United
States Geological Survey.
Paterson Instruments’ HPT
A High Pressure, High Temperature Testing Machine (HPT) was sold to GeoForschungs- Zentrum (GFZ), a large research institute at
Potsdam, Germany. The sale was the first for ASI since ANUTECH acquired Paterson Instruments Pty Ltd near the end of 1996, and is the second instrum ent sold to G FZD Potsdam and the seventh worldwide.
MASIF
Two MASIFs were successfully exported in 1996, to Japan and Germany. ASI’s Japanese agent, Columbia Export/Import, reported that the three
MASIFs already in Japanese institutions were producing research data.
ASI continued development of the Tribology Accessory, designed to extend the application of and market for MASIF, especially in the oil and lubricant industry.
Uni-Ball-Mill II
A Uni-Ball-Mill II was sold to the research o rganisation SRI In tern atio n al Palo Alto, California.
Overseas visitors
Besides hosting company and government repre sentatives interested in particular technologies or services, ANUTECH gave presentations to inter national visitors with specific interests in the
process of technology commercialisation. Among them were Dr Sharr Azni Harmin, Manager of Technology Development with the Malaysian N atio n al B iotechnology D ire c to ra te, and
Professor Raja Salim, Deputy Registrar and Professor Ibrahim Abdullah, Professor of Physical Chemistry both of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Negotiations were initiated with UKM for supply of short courses on R&D com mercialisation.
B ook distribution— Bibliotech
Bibliotech continued to offer integrated, effective book distribution services to the academic comm unity, and to expand its customer base.
W ithin the University, the N orth Australia Research Unit appointed Bibliotech as its agent to
22 The A ustralian National University Annual Report 1996
distribute its publications. Outside the University, but still complementary to Bibliotech’s stable of publishers, Bibliotech commenced distribution in September of the publications of the Australian Institute of Criminology. The Institute’s public ations include research reports, proceedings of conferences and public information sheets.
Expanding its services further afield, Bibliotech won a competitive contract with AusAID to main tain the latter’s database and warehouse and distribute their publications. New business from overseas saw Bibliotech appointed as sole distrib
ution agent in Australia for publications of the Asian Development Bank.
University computer shop— PCtech
A vigorous team at ANUTECH’s computer sales division continued in their com m itm ent to improve services to the ANU, working closely with
various areas and individuals on campus to ensure special requirements were satisfied. Despite some uncertainty in the PC marketplace, PCtech was able to maintain and improve its relative position by more specifically targeting new and established clients. Benefits such as preferential pricing and longer warranties which PCtech has always been able to offer staff and students were extended to ANU alumni.
Marketing strategies which were initiated in 1996 included advertising on student cards and in the AN U graduate magazine. Special events on campus were supported, including special door
prizes of printers for the ANU Alumni Dinner in August at Old Parliament House, provided in conjunction with Apple. As part of the Apple University C onsortium , PCtech provided an
oncampus channel for grants through the Apple University D evelopm ent Fund available to innovative software developers on university campuses (a number of applications submitted through PCtech were successful in 1996). PCtech
also assisted academics and IT decision-makers in
attending dedicated IT conferences in Australia and overseas, as well as providing new product briefings on campus.
General
ATI CCA Conference
The 1996 ATICCA (Association ofTertiary Instit ution Commercial Companies of Australasia) Conference was held in Canberra. ANUTECH conducted a workshop and hosted a breakfast
during the conference.
Summary and prospects
Unlike most businesses with one product and one marketplace, ANUTECH has a large number of disparate products and services in many market places. O ur clients are the ANU on the one hand, and the wider community of commerce, industry and government on the other. There have been changes in all our marketplaces in 1996, some due to government changes, and some in response to the general national and international economic situation.
O ur overall level of activity has continued to be high; nevertheless, it was necessary to reorganise to gain efficiencies and improve our chances of winn ing contracts. In particular, we moved to set up larger more robust business groups to provide a
firm base for taking advantage of new business opportunities, particularly in highly competitive areas such as management of large international development projects, and scientific instrument manufacture.
The future of the Company needs to be based on an expansion of the business, including increasing support for the ANU. We need to move from a ‘sm all’ m edium-sized com pany to a ‘large’
medium-sized company in the next two to three years. The prospects are sound for AN U TECH to co n tin u e to develop in the service o f the
University.

O FFIC I
To the Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs
Scope
I have audited the financial statements of the Australian National University for the year ended 31 December 1996. They comprise:
⢠Certificate of the Vice-Chancellor and the Chair, Finance Committee
⢠Statement of Revenues and Expenses of the University and of the economic entity
⢠Statement o f Financial Position o f the University and of the economic entity
⢠Statement o f Cash Flows of the University and o f the economic entity, and
⢠Notes to and forming part o f the financial statements.
The members of the Council o f the University are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and the information contained therein. I have conducted an independent audit of the financial statements in order to express an opinion on them to the Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs and the Chairman of the Council of the University.
The audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate Australian Auditing Standards, to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free o f material misstatement. Audit procedures included examination, on a test basis, o f evidence
supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial statements, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with Australian Accounting Concepts and Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements and
statutory reporting requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with my understanding of the University’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

A uditor-G eneral’s Report 127
Qualifications
Investments
As stated in Note 1 under Basis of Accounting, the University departed from the requirements o f the Australian Accounting Standards on Profit and Loss or other Operating Statements (AAS 1) and Accounting for Revaluation o f Non-current Assets (AAS10), in respect of the iunds invested in the Commonwealth Superannuation
Account to provide for the employer funded part of pensions paid by the Australian Government for University employees.
The University accounts as revenue the changes in market value of assets of the Commonwealth Superannuation Account between the beginning and end of each period, irrespective of whether the gains (or losses) are realised. This treatment is the same as provided for under the Australian Accounting Standard on Financial Reporting By Superannuation Plans (AAS 25). However the Account is not a superannuation
plan in terms of the definition in AAS 25. The University believes that the Standards AAS 1 and AAS 10 are not appropriate for the superannuation funds. The University maintains this Account, on conditions agreed by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth, to meet the employer’s liability to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme.
The accounting treatment adopted by the University is contrary to the requirements of AAS 10 for revaluation of non-current assets in that the increment has not been taken to an investment revaluation reserve for unrealised gains. The treatment is also contrary to AAS 1 in that the financial result has been determined after accounting for
revenue from unrealised gains in the Statement of Revenues and Expenses.
The Guidelines fo r Financial Statements o f Commonwealth Authorities (the Guidelines) require the University to comply with the accounting standards. The Guidelines also provide that where the University believes that financial statements so prepared do not show fairly the financial transactions and the state of affairs of the University, it should supply additional information and explanations so as to show
fairly those matters. As stated by the University in Note 1, the effect of the departures from the standards is to increase the operating revenue for the year and understate reserves by $18,799,000.
Land
The University has stated also under Note 1 that land at Acton campus and Mount Stromlo has not been brought to account. The University acknowledges that it controls and benefits from the use of the land. These sites are provided free of charge by lease in perpetuity and on restricted use for University activities imposed by the Australian National University Act 1991 and the site lease purpose clause. As a
result, the University believes that the value of the land cannot be reliably measured and so does not meet the asset recognition criteria of Statement o f Accounting Concepts 4: Definition and Recognition o f the Elements o f Financial Statements (SAC 4).
128 The A ustralian National U niversity Annual Report 1996
The Guidelines require the University to comply with the Statements o f Accounting Concepts, however the University has departed from the requirements o f SAC 4 in not bringing the Acton campus and Mount Stromlo site to account. These sites do meet the recognition criteria for assets within SAC 4 as they can be reliably measured and therefore should be accounted for as non-current assets within the Statement of Financial Position. The treatment is also contrary to AAS 1 in that the financial result has been determined without bringing to account the land as an extraordinary item within the Statement of Revenues and Expenses. The University has indicated that it is unable to quantify the effect of this departure on non-current assets and accumulated surpluses and, as a result, I am unable to form an opinion on the impact o f this departure.
Qualified Audit Opinion
In accordance with sub-section 49(2) o f the Australian National University Act 1991, I now report that the statements are in agreement with the accounts and records o f the University and the economic entity, and in my opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements o f the matters referred to in the qualification section:
⢠the statements are based on proper accounts and records
⢠the statements show fairly in accordance with Statements o f Accounting Concepts and applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements the financial transactions and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 1996 and the state of affairs of the University and the economic entity as
at that date
⢠the receipt, expenditure and investment of moneys, and the acquisition and disposal of assets, by the University during the year have been in accordance with the Australian National University Act 1991, and
⢠the statements are in accordance with the Guidelines fo r Financial Statements o f Commonwealth Authorities as varied by the delegate for the Minister for Finance as stated in Note 1.

THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 31 DECEMBER 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of Accounting
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards, unless otherwise indicated. The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for some assets which are reported at valuation as indicated in note 1.6.
The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements o f the Guidelines for Financial Statements of Commonwealth Authorities (the Guidelines) approved by the Minister for Finance, except as indicated in note 1.2, and the Instructions for the Preparation of Annual Financial Reports by Australian Higher Education
Institutions (the Instructions) issued by the Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs.
The financial report is presented on an economic entity basis. The statements include consolidated reporting for The Australian National University and its wholly and beneficially owned subsidiary company ANUTECH Pty Ltd incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory.
The University records as revenue the changes in market values of assets of the Commonwealth Superannuation Account between the beginning and the end of each reporting period, irrespective of whether the gains (or losses) are realised. The effect of disclosing unrealised gains and losses in revenue rather than in an Unrealised Gains Reserve is to increase the operating revenue for the year by $18,799,000. This treatment of unrealised gains and losses
represents a departure from the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards on Profit and Loss Statements (AAS1) and Accounting for the Revaluation of Non-Current Assets (AAS10).
These departures from the Australian Accounting Standards (AAS1 and AAS10) have been made because, in the opinion of the University, the standards are not appropriate for the Commonwealth Superannuation Account. The University maintains this Account, on conditions agreed by the Treasurer o f the Commonwealth, to meet the employer's liability to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme. Accordingly, the University has adopted a market value basis for the investments held by the Account and has followed the disclosure requirements o f the Australian Accounting Standard on Financial Reporting by Superannuation Plans (AAS 25) for investment revenue as if it were a superannuation plan. The University considers that its accounting policy accurately discloses the financial performance and position of the Commonwealth Superannuation Account.
1.2 Income in Advance
The University records as income in advance any monies received in December 1996 pursuant to the Higher Education Funding Act 1988 (HEFA) that relates to operating expenditure to be incurred in 1997. This treatment recognises that the University has an obligation to the Commonwealth Government to use these monies for teaching and research purposes in 1997. The figure of $53,804,000 in creditors (see note 26) includes $17,301,000 of 1997 HEFA funding in advance.
Pursuant to clause 8 of the Guidelines, the delegate of the Minister for Finance has varied the form o f The Australian National University financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 1996 so that:
the University is exempt from recognising revenues in respect to grants received in the year previous to the year to which they relate and that such grants be recognised as income in advance (see note 26).
1.3 Cash Flows
Cash for the purposes o f the Statement o f Cash Flows, includes cash on hand, deposits at call with banks and money market investments readily convertible to cash.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
1.4 Investments
Funds are invested using guidelines approved by the Council of the University in the following categories:
Bank accepted bills Convertible notes Corporate bonds Debentures Government and semi-government stocks and bonds Managed investment funds
Negotiable certificates of deposit Overseas managed investment funds Promissory notes Properties
Shares and share options Short term money market Stapled securities
Transferable certificates o f deposit
1.5 Inventories
Inventories held for sale are valued at the lower o f cost or net realisable value. Costs are assigned to inventories using last purchase cost including costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Consumables in store are valued at weighted average unit cost.
1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment
1.6.1 Depreciation and A mortisation Depreciation and amortisation are calculated on a straight line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and works o f art. Rates are calculated to allocate the cost or value of the assets against revenue over the useful life of the assets.
1.6.2 Valuation o f Assets Assets are stated at accumulated historical cost except for campus buildings, properties donated to the University, investments, land and dwellings held on behalf o f the Housing Operation and non-electronic musical instruments. The valuation of non-electronic musical instruments at replacement cost was undertaken by Institute of the Arts officers, who are considered to be experts in this field, as at B February 1988. Non electronic musical instruments
acquired after that date are valued at cost. A revaluation will be undertaken in 1997.
Academic and administrative information systems developed internally have not been valued as the University is unable to measure reliably their development cost.
The land at Acton campus and Mount Stromlo has not been brought to account. The University acknowledges that it controls and benefits from the use of the land. These sites are provided free of charge by lease in perpetuity and on restricted use for University activities imposed by the ANU Act 1991 and the site lease purpose clause. As a result, the University believes that the value of the land cannot be reliably measured and so does not meet the asset
recognition criteria o f Statement o f Accounting Concepts 4.
All land and buildings gifted to the University are assessed by independent qualified valuers and revalued in the University's books of account. The last independent valuation was performed in 1993 by Egan, Wilkinson and Swinboume, registered valuers. These assets will be revalued in 1997.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued
1.6.2 Valuation o f Assets (com) Campus buildings were valued by the University at current reproduction cost on 30 June 1994 using building price indices for the ACT region. The revaluation increment was credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve. Campus buildings completed subsequent to the valuation are disclosed at cost. These assets will be revalued in 1997.
During 1996, land and dwellings held on behalf o f the Housing Operation were valued independently at current market prices by McCann & Associates, registered valuers. All valuations are estimates of the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction at the valuation date. These assets are revalued every three years.
Investment assets o f the Commonwealth Superannuation Account are stated at market value. Market value in relation to investments has been determined as:
Land and buildings - all valuations are estimates of the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction at the valuation date. The most recent independent valuations o f land and buildings were performed in 1996 by the Australian Valuation Office;
Shares in public companies, stapled securities and convertible notes - the official market quotation price as listed by the Australian Stock Exchange at the close of business on 31 December 1996;
Government, semi-government and corporate bonds, transferable certificates of deposit and Capital Indexed Government Bonds - valuation provided by Treasury manager based on rate sheets supplied by SBC Warburg Australia Ltd; and
Managed investment funds and Overseas managed investment funds - valuation supplied by the fund management groups.
1.7 Employee Entitlements
In 1995, the University changed its accounting treatment to provide for long service leave in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standard AAS30. The long service leave liability for employees with seven years of service or greater as at 31 December 1996 is $30,229,000. The adoption o f AAS30 requires additional disclosure for the probable future liability arising from current employees with less than 7 years of service. It also requires the inclusion of on-costs relating to long service leave payments. This additional disclosure increases the long service leave liability by $2,190,000.
As a result o f a change in the accounting treatment of long service leave liability, an adjustment was made to the balance of the liability as at 1 January 1995 and also against the Accumulated Surpluses at Beginning o f 1995. Following a re-assessment of probable future payments and adoption of Department of Finance Guidance Release, the long services leave liability has been revised and the subsequent adjustment has been recognised as an abnormal item.
1.8 Deferred Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs at ANUTECH are expensed as incurred except where future benefits are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to exceed those costs. Where research and development costs are deferred such costs are amortised over future periods on a basis related to expected future benefits. Unamortised costs are reviewed at each balance date to determine the amount that is no longer recoverable and any amount so identified is written off.

The information provided in this note is only relevant to the University and so consolidated figures are not provided.
In 1996, the Instructions were amended to disclose the Grants pursuant to the Higher Education Funding Act 1988 as the amounts received in the reporting period plus advance payments received in the previous period less advance payments received in respect of the next period. This differs from the requirements of 1995, where the amounts expended in the reporting period were disclosed as Grants. The change in this disclosure requirement has resulted in an adjustment of
$2,797,000 to the Accumulated Surpluses at the beginning o f the reporting period. The 1995 comparative figures have not been changed to reflect the new disclosure requirements.

32. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Guarantees of $114,000 have been given to The Credit Union of Canberra Ltd for loans made to needy students. Guarantees of $194,000 have also been given to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia with respect to the Legal Workshop Loan Scheme.
The University is currently involved in two legal matters. In both of these matters the University expects a total maximum liability of $30,000.
The University has given a guarantee, on behalf o f ANUTECH, for $111,000 o f funds held in trust by ANUTECH for prepaid course fees which are subject to the Education Services for Overseas Student Act and the associated Tuition Assurance Scheme regulations. No liability is expected to arise.
ANUTECH has guaranteed $124,500 to unrelated parties in return for advance funding of projects based on conditions of the agreements. These guarantees are secured by term deposits. No liability is expected to arise.
ANUTECH is involved in one legal action. This action arises from a contract within ANUTECH’s normal course of business. Legal advice make the directors confident that ANUTECH’s position is sound. ANUTECH expects to be indemnified at least in part by its insurers.
33. AUDITORS' REMUNERATION
Fees for audit services provided to the University by the Australian National Audit Office are estimated to be $227,000.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The directors present their report on the results of ANUTECH Pty Limited for the financial year ended 31 December 1996, and the state of affairs of the Company at that date.
DIRECTORS
The directors in office at the date of this report are:
Mr Ronald Bruce Topfer (Chairman) Professor Brian David Outram Anderson Mr Raymond Oswald Block Mr Christopher William Burgess Mr James Fulton Muir Professor Richard Mark Pashley Dr Andrew Rastawicki Professor Ian Gordon Ross Professor Susan Wyber Serjeantson
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Company during the year were to undertake the marketing of the research and experimental work of The Australian National University, and there was no significant change in the nature of these activities during that period.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
ANUTECH’s total operating revenue for the year was $43.9 million compared with $42.9 million the previous year.
The consolidated operating profit of ANUTECH Pty Ltd for the year ended 31 December 1996 was $97,927 ($582,623 in 1995).
Donations totalling $150,000 ($445,600 in 1995) were offered to the University.
The reduction in operating profit and donations offered to the University arose because of legal costs and expenditure on research and development written off during the year.
Management of large international development projects continued to form a major part of the company’s business and new areas were explored in 1996. The highly regarded Nepal Australia Community Forestry Project entered its final stages. Management continued for the Kandrian Gloucester Integrated Development Project and the Papua New Guinea Human Resource Development Project.
ANUTECH expanded its program of short courses, with a strong emphasis upon building its reputation for quality programs in Australia and overseas. Courses presented in 1996 included: a suite of economics courses designed for officials, policy researchers and educators from countries undergoing economic and social reform, held in co-operation with the MBA Program: a series of five courses in the environment,
natural resources and project planning and monitoring areas: study tours: and a range of courses held in Asian, Pacific Island and African countries.
The Education centre continued to increase its enrolments, and extended its marketing to more specifically target the private education market in Asia.
In the technology area. ANUTECH signed a $395,000 contract to build a 400 square metre Big Dish collector for Ben Gurion University in Israel, where it will be used for solar energy research.
The Big Dish system was formerly launched on 16 December at ANUTECH's Energy Research Centre, by the NSW Treasurer Mr Michael Egan MLA, who announced a pre-feasibility study to be co-funded by NSW

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Government and Transfield Ltd. The study was to examine a 1 mW dish-based power plant in conjunction with an existing power plant, and a desalination demonstration system for the Sydney Olympics.
The first commercial HARE (Helicon Assisted Reactive Evaporation) machine was launched in Tokyo by Enya Systems Ltd. The HARE system, developed in the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, and licensed to Enya through ANUTECH, is designed to be integrated into other systems to produce high quality films for microelectronic and other applications.
ANUTECH signed an agreement with Biodiscovery Ltd which will direct funds of approximately $2 million over three years towards research into and clinical trials of a potential diabetes vaccine.
The Technology Marketing group also managed a number of consultancies, in fields including veterinary medicine, laser technology and chemistry.
ANUTECH sold its total share holding in Virax Pty Ltd to Rancoo Ltd.
Australian Scientific Instruments (ASI) demonstrated its lead over its multinational competitors by installing, testing and commissioning a SHRIMP II microprobe at Hiroshima University in two and a half weeks in August. This achievement was due in no small part to the continuing close collaboration between ASI and
the Research School of Earth Sciences, whose members were in Hiroshima for the testing and commissioning phase. The development and fabrication of the next generation of the SHRIMP RG continued according to schedule.
ASI acquired Paterson Instruments Pty Ltd near the end of 1996, and subsequently sold a High Pressure, High Temperature Testing Machine (HPT) to GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) in Germany.
Two MASIFs were exported in 1996, to Japan and Germany, and development continued on the Tribology Accessory for the instrument.
A Uni-Ball-Mill II was sold to SRI International Palo Alto, California.
Bibliotech and PCtech continued to serve their customers and to consult with various areas on campus to improve services to the ANU.
To sum up for 1996, the Company maintained its position in the market place, although profitability was reduced by unusual items. Considerable resources were invested in developing overseas marketplaces, including those for technology, instruments, training, and consultancy and management services.
INCOME TAX
The Company is exempt from income tax under Section 23 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
DIVIDENDS
Under its Memorandum and Articles of Association the Company is precluded from paying a dividend to the members.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Except for the 100% acquisition of Paterson Instruments Pty Ltd, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
There are no matters or circ*mstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected or which may significantly affect the Company.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Company has forecasted a downturn in activity for 1997 but is positioning itself to take full advantage of opportunities. Difficulties will still be experienced in the technology marketing areas due to long time lags and the constraints of the international marketplace.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS
31 DECEMBER 1996
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Law which include disclosures required by Schedule 5 and applicable Accounting Standards. Other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views) have also been complied with.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated accounts incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by ANUTECH Pty Limited as at 31 December 1996 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. ANUTECH Pty Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the i economic entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the economic entity are eliminated in full.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year its results are included for that part of the year during which control exists.
As the Company only acquired controlling interests in another entiry during 1996 hence there is no need for prior period consolidated comparatives.
Property, plant and equipment
Cost and valuation Properly, plant and equipment are carried at cost or at independent valuation. Any surplus on revaluation is credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve and excluded from the profit and loss account.
Any gain or loss on the disposal of revalued assets is determined as the difference between the carrying value of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds from disposal, and is included in the result of the Company in the year of disposal.
Depreciation Depreciation is charged on the Company's non-current assets under the prime cost method so as to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Major depreciation periods are:
- Building 40 years - Plant and equipment 3 to 10 years
Goodwill Amortisation Goodwill is amortised by the straight line method over the period during which benefits are expected to be received. This is taken as being 20 years.
Cash
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in the bank, cash management trusts, commercial bills and term deposits.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investm ents
All investments are valued at Directors' valuation based on estimated market value at balance date.
The Company's interest in associated companies which are not controlled entities have been valued at Directors' valuation and dividend income is only taken into profit as it is received.
Associated companies are companies in which the Company exercises significant influence by holding shares and participating in financial and operating policies. Generally, the shareholding in associated companies represents 20% to 50% of the voting power.
Projects - project revenue and expenditure
The balance of funds available to meet expenditure in future years is carried forward as incomplete project revenues. Provision is made in the current year for any anticipated future losses on the projects.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as cost of direct material and labour.
Employee entitlements
Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering sen/ices up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts. All other employee entitlement liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the interest rates attaching to government guaranteed securities which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related
liability are used.
Income tax
No provision for income tax has been made as the Company is exempt under Section 23 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
Donations and Gifts to The Australian National University Under the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association the Company is precluded from the payment of dividends to its shareholders. The articles provide for donations and gifts and these are considered an appropriation of profits rather than an expense of the Company.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Deferred income - Rental received in advance
Under the conditions of the lease agreement with the CSIRO dated 13 July 1990, rent will not be charged for the first two years of the twenty year term. As a result the rental income received in advance is brought to account as income from 1 January 1995 on an annual straight line basis for the remaining 18 years.
Deferred research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred except where future benefits are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to exceed those costs. Where research and development costs are deferred such costs are amortised over future periods on a basis related to expected future
benefits. Unamortised costs are reviewed at each balance date to determine the amount that is no longer recoverable and any amount so identified is written off.
Research donations
Funds donated to ANUTECH have been recognised as income in determining the profit for the year.

NOTE 3: SYNDICATED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Syndicates 1 & 2 In December 1990 ANUTECH Pty Limited entered into agreements with two syndicated research and development partnerships worth a total of $50m.
Under the terms of the agreements the partnerships agreed to:
(a) Provide funds for research for three years 1991-1993.
(b) Acquire technology licences from ANUTECH for $34.6m.
The $34.6m received from the sale of the technology licences has been placed into a technology sinking fund (Note 9) along with accrued income earned (Note 9) and the profit component from the research and development for the duration of the agreements.
The agreements with each partnership contain a “put option” which gives each partnership the option of selling the technology licences back to ANUTECH for a consideration equal to the accumulated balance of the “technology sinking fund". A provision to purchase the technology licences has therefore been recorded (Note 15).
The partnerships are able to exercise their options during the period 31 January 1998 to 31 January 2003.
ANUTECH has entered into agreements with two indemnifiers who have agreed to meet any shortfall on the put option payment should either of the partnerships exercise their option.
Syndicate 3 In June 1992 ANUTECH Pty Limited entered into agreements with a syndicated research and development partnership worth a total of $51,5m.
Under the terms of the agreement the partnership agreed to:
(a) Provide funds for research for three years 1992-1995.
(b) Acquire technology licences from ANUTECH for $33.8m.
The $33.8m received from the sale of the technology licences has been placed into a technology sinking fund (Note 9) along with accrued income earned (Note 9).
The agreement with the partnership contains a “put option" which gives the partnership the option of selling the technology licence back to ANUTECH for a consideration equal to the accumulated balance of the Technology sinking fund". A provision to purchase the technology licences has therefore been recorded (Note 15).
The partnership is able to exercise their option from 30 June 1997.
ANUTECH has entered into an agreement with an indemnifier who has agreed to meet any shortfall on the put option payment should the partnership exercise their option.
