Description:

Asia-Pacific Week brings together hundreds of PhD candidates from
Australia and overseas to workshop projects, to 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.
