The Australia-Netherlands Research Collaboration (ANRC)

Welcome

The Australia-Netherlands Research Collaboration (ANRC) commenced operations in late July 2007. The project supports Australia-Netherlands academic relations and brings together researchers from both countries to focus on Southeast Asia. The collaboration provides a forum within which Australian and Dutch researchers can undertake cooperative research projects, nurture and develop young scholars, and create platforms for developing policy advice on Southeast Asia in both countries. Collaborations involve Southeast Asian researchers as well as researchers from Australia and the Netherlands.

To achieve these aims, ANRC provides funding support for research teams to hold discussion-focussed workshops on particular research themes in Australia, The Netherlands and Southeast Asia; and for students to undertake research work or advanced training. The project holds policy fora in both countries bringing together government advisors and researchers to discuss policy issues related to Southeast Asia. For further details about activities, go to Upcoming Events and Past Events.

The project is being led by Dr Robert Cribb from the Australian National University and Dr Peter Meel from Leiden University. In the Netherlands the ANRC project is supported by the ANRC Advisory Committee.
