Asia Pacific Week 2009 at the Australian National University
The College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP), The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
Supplied note:
"Asia Pacific Week 2009, Building Australia's Asia Pacific Expertise, ANU Campus 27 - 30 January. [...]
* What is it?
Asia-Pacific Week brings together hundreds of PhD candidates from Australia and overseas to workshop projects, benefit from master classes and form networks committed to understanding the world's most dynamic region. Since its inception in 2004, Asia-Pacific Week has become a signature event for postgraduates in Australia and for scholars of the region. In 2008, 200 doctoral candidates took part, along with three dozen senior scholars. Asia Pacific Week is a container for a number of "Graduate Summer Schools" focusing on different areas of the Asia-Pacific region (the Pacific Islands, China, Japan, Indonesia, South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia and East Timor). During a week of activities, graduate students have a chance to present their research interests, meet other students and academics, participate in a wide range of training activities, be introduced to the rich holdings on Asia and the Pacific at the ANU Library and the National Library of Australia and participate in a stimulating program of events including cross-area workshops, keynote speeches, seminars and master classes, film screenings, cultural performances and social events.
* How to participate.
We provide a limited number of small grants to partially cover travel, accommodation and board while in Canberra. The number and amount can vary from program to program, but candidates who are accepted can count on room and board for the four days of Asia-Pacific Week (27-30 January) and a contribution towards their domestic travel. (Please note that no financial help is available for travel from overseas). Interested students should apply directly to program in which they wish to participate (e.g., Pacific Islands, China, etc). Webpages for these programs will be in operation from late July [2008], and information and application forms will be available there.
* Undergraduates and Masters students.
A small number of bursaries will be made available for advanced undergraduate students and Masters students to attend the event as observers. Bursaries will only cover accommodation. Applications to participate in Asia Pacific Week are now open. [See http://rspas.anu.edu.au/asiapacificweek/application.php - ed.] Applications close on 3 October 2008."
