Upcoming professionals with developing Asia-Pacific expertise will meet at the Australian National University in Canberra on 31 January – 4 February, 2005.
Asia Pacific Week will feature a program of collaborative events, intensive courses and workshops that will bring together more than 300 scholars from Australia, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Africa and North America. More than 100 academics will guide 218 honours students and postgraduate researchers through their week-long programs. Participants will have access to the considerable research and teaching resources at the ANU and at the National Library of Australia. The combined holdings of the ANU and the NLA represent one of the world's major resources for the study of Asia and the Pacific and over 70 per cent of Australia's Asia-Pacific resource material. The depth of academic support in Asia-Pacific Studies at the ANU is unequalled in Australia.
Asia Pacific Week participants will present papers on their research and gain practical advice on enhancing research skills from senior scholars in the fields of Asia and Pacific Studies. Scholarships have been provided for Australia-based honours and postgraduate students.
Asia Pacific Week is principally funded by the International Centre of Excellence in Asia Pacific Studies (ICEAPS), the National Institute for Asia and the Pacific (NIAP) and the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS) at the ANU. ICEAPS is funded out of a four-year grant from the Commonwealth of Australia and is designed to raise the profile of Asia-Pacific Studies in Australia. Other sponsors for individual groups include the Australia-China Council, the Chinese Studies Association of Australia and the Australia-India Council.
A rich program of activities and events has been organised for the week to promote Australia as a thriving centre for Asia and Pacific Studies. These will include keynote speeches, seminars and workshops, library sessions, film screenings, book launches, cultural performances and social events in the following programs:
