New Japan Institute website launched

A central mission of the Australian National University since its creation in 1946 is to improve our understanding of ourselves and our neighbours through research, teaching, and engagement. The ANU Japan Institute - one of ten regional institutes within the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific - plays an integral part supporting the pursuit of this mission. The Institute brings together our expertise across the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences, to promote excellence in research and teaching at the ANU on Japan, and to promote the ANU as a leading centre of learning for Japan studies.

The focus of the Japan Institute is broad, encompassing economic affairs, diplomatic and international relations, history, linguistics and language, And the full array of physical sciences in which the university has key partnerships with researchers and research organisations in Japan.

We hope the new website will provide a useful avenue for disseminating information about Japan-related activities being carried out at the Australian National University. If you haven’t done so, please sign up to the mailing list and you can keep up with updates and upcoming events.
