The ESfO Website: This website is constructed and maintained by Jari Kupiainen at the University of Joensuu, Finland. email: jari.kupiainen[use"@"]joensuu.fi [...] The European Society for Oceanists was established in 1992 at the First European Colloquium on Pacific Studies. It is a professional association which addresses itself to researchers with a regional interest in Oceania. Oceania includes the Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya, Australia and New Zealand.
The Society is an interdisciplinary organization; membership is open to anthropologists, linguists, historians, psychologists, geographers, human ecologists and other researchers in the social sciences and humanities. The Society welcomes researchers from within and outside Europe.
The Society is intended to enhance intellectual exchange and cooperation between individual Oceanic scholars and between institutions (universities, museums, etc.). This goal is to be achieved by establishing an information network and by organizing biannual conferences. So far four such conferences have been held: the first in Nijmegen 1992, the second in Basel 1994, the third in Copenhagen 1996, the fourth in Leiden 1999, and the fifth in Vienna 2002.
This membership directory is meant to facilitate establishing and maintaining contacts with colleagues all over the world. The directory contains data on all individuals that were members in September 2003."
