Australia-Malaysia fellowships
The National Centre is a foundation supporter of the The Australia-Malaysia Institute (AMI) Fellowships for academics, postgraduate students and other researchers. This scheme provides funding for travel and provides host institutions for scholars interested in both Australia and Malaysia and relationships between the two countries. The Australia-Malaysia Institute seeks to promote Australia's relationship with Malaysia by increasing linkages between people and institutions and promoting mutual understanding of our counterpart societies. These fellowships are also intended to promote excellence in research. The Centre also supports a range of other international travelling fellowship programs, especially those anchored in the Asian region.
Australia-Japan fellowships
In 2008, NCAS in collaboration with Monash University's Centre for Japanese Studies and the Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies, secured funding for three fellowships to enable Japanese scholars to visit Australia. Our 2008 Japanese scholar was Professor Keiji Sawada from Waseda University, Tokyo.
