About UWA Institute of Advanced Studies

In 1999, The University of Western Australia established an Institute of Advanced Studies to provide both a focus and an active foundation of support for the intellectual activity of its community. The initiative of the Institute was to ensure a robust support for the promotion and maintenance of consistent levels of excellence in research. The charter of the Institute is to develop the research profile of the University, particularly through the support and fostering of interdisciplinary programs focused on important and topical issues. The Institute enhances the University’s reputation for excellence and enterprise, and through this enriches the experience of postgraduate training. The specific program work of the Institute ensures that more opportunities are created for intellectual work within discrete disciplines and across disciplinary divides, and that more people have knowledge of such activities. Traditionally, the University has had a range of prestigious researchers and visitors on-site, engaged in scholarly work and presenting ideas and research outcomes in public fora. But often the information is not disseminated outside of the discipline area, when the topics can be of interest to a much broader audience. The Institute serves as a focus for the wider dissemination of ideas, and actively coordinates particular thematic convergences and practices.
