The ANU Japan Institute
The ANU's Japan Institute brings together the university's extensive range of Japan expertise across the disciplines, and provides a focus for Australia-wide collaboration with universities and public institutions to promote knowledge of Japan. This easily navigable website is the portal for accessing the Institute's current activities, and will be further expanded as the Institute develops. There is also an email network which notifies interested people about upcoming Japan-related events or reports. The Institute encourages input and feedback about Japan-related activities which might not otherwise be widely known.
