Asia-Pacific Week 2006

Up and coming professionals with expertise in Asia and the Pacific met at the Australian National University in Canberra on 29 January - 2 February, 2006. The Asia Pacific Week summer school featured a program of intensive courses and workshops that brought together more than 300 scholars from Australia, the region, Europe and North America.

Over 200 honours students and postgraduate researchers joined prominent academics to undertake a week-long program designed to make available the considerable national research and teaching resources in Canberra. The combined holdings of the National Library of Australia and the ANU 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 in the capital is unequalled in Australia.
