Asia-Pacific Week is a conference and summer school that 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 2009, in addition to ANU academics and invited guests, 185 people participated in APW. Of these, 38 came from 16 other countries, 107 from interstate, and 40 were ANU students. 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 and Southeast Asia). 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 (8-11 February) and a contribution towards their domestic travel. (Please note that no financial help is available for travel from overseas). Interested applicants should apply directly to the program in which they wish to participate (e.g., Pacific Islands, China, etc). Links to participating groups' webpages and online application forms can be accessed in the left hand menu. Undergraduates and Masters studentsA 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 closed. * The APW 2010 website will be regularly updated, and information about participating groups will be added. |
