Group of Eight (Go8)

The Group of Eight (Go8) is a coalition of Australia's eight most research-intensive universities: the University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, Australian National University, University of Queensland, University of New South Wales, Monash University, University of Western Australia, and University of Adelaide. Go8 members conduct over 70% of Australia's basic and applied research and educate a significant proportion of the country's professionals, including doctors, lawyers, and engineers. All eight universities consistently rank among the world's top 200 in major global rankings.
