Griffith University

A key role of the Griffith Asia Institute is to provide a forum for presentation and debate of important modern and contemporary issues related to the Asia-Pacific, and as appropriate, Australia's role in it. Since its inception, the Griffith Asia Institute has hosted a number of conferences, workshops and public lectures that include participants from interstate and overseas.

In 2005, the Griffith Asia Institute, in collaboration with the Queensland Art Gallery, launched a successful series of public seminars called "Perspectives: Asia" to promote public discussion of Australia's relations with its region.

Research Seminars are held on Thursdays at Nathan Campus, from 12:30 - 13:50 during semester. For more info please contact Natasha Vary on 07 3735 5322 or email n.vary@griffith.edu.au.
