Issue: September 2005NewsNew focus on Asia-Pacific researchLa Trobe University is playing an important role in a new initiative to promote cooperative research in the Asia Pacific Region. It is a foundation member of the Australian Research Council Asia Pacific Futures Network (APFN) which aims to stimulate research to enhance Australia's interactions with, and knowledge of, this region. The network teams researchers from seven Australian universities with government and industry to stimulate new research, partnerships and training opportunities. It focuses on governance and security, culture and religion, media and communications, health and population, and trade and industry. La Trobe Professor of Politics, Robin Jeffrey, is on the eight-member management committee and heads the research 'node' on South Asia. Other 'nodes' deal with West Asia-Islam, Southeast Asia, China, Japan and Korea, Pacific and Australia, and Asia.
