The State Society and Governance in Melanesia Program (SSGM), situated in ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, is offering a Pacific Scholarship Award for eight places to graduate students and scholars from universities, research institutions and professional bodies in the Pacific Islands to attend its Developing Pacific Scholarship Program for two weeks from 30 January to 10 February 2012.  Full travel costs to and from Canberra, plus accommodation, will be paid to successful Pacific Islander applicants.


This Program is envisaged as a training opportunity for younger Pacific Islands researchers.

The second week will feature 15-20 minute presentations from each of the visitors on any aspect of their research.  Trips around Canberra and social events will also be offered.
