International Centre of Excellence in Asia-Pacific Studies http://iceaps.anu.edu.au/
The Australian Government has awarded the Australian National University the contract to establish the International Centre of Excellence in Asia-Pacific Studies. The primary objective of the Centre is: To raise the profile of Asia Pacific Studies in Australia through a program of new, sustainable and collaborative activities. The Centre will therefore extend collaboration between relevant organisations within Australia to build on existing capabilities and develop links and connections with international organisations of world repute to attract an international visibility and reputation for Australia as the leading expert in Asia-Pacific Studies. The ANU has commenced appointing staff for the Centre which is temporarily co-located with the National Institute for Asia and the Pacific in the Menzies Library where the ANU has its major Asia Pacific collections. The new Director, Professor John Fitzgerald, will take up his position in mid January, 2005. This website provides introductory information on the Centre, its objectives and plans. Preliminary guidelines for project funding are provided and proposals that meet the broad criteria are called for. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
