In celebration of our 175th anniversary, guided by our founding principles of merit and equity, we're proud to partner with the Sydney Opera House.
This partnership brings together two of Sydney's most iconic institutions, united by a history of close collaboration and a shared mission to inspire and educate their communities, to foster lifelong learning, support emerging talent, and create platforms for critical thinking and global dialogue.
The partnership will provide opportunities for our community to engage with ideas and experiences that tackle the great challenges of our time.
Throughout 2025 and 2026, the University of Sydney and the Sydney Opera House will co-present events featuring leading thinkers from around the world, inspiring curiosity, creativity and positive social change.
