Academy of Social Sciences in Australia
Calls for proposals for the 2013-14 program year will open in April/May 2012.
The Workshop Program is a principal component of the Academy's promotion of excellence in research in the social sciences. It aims to identify issues of national concern in the social sciences, and to focus specialist attention on them by means of workshops and roundtables. A related aim is to position the Program at the cutting edge of social science research in this country. The very considerable degree of success of the Program in fulfilling these aims to date may be inferred from the several mentions made of its work in the Breakspere Report (1995), which noted that the Program provides an arena for intellectual exchange and innovation, a mechanism for exploring linkages between research and policy, and a means of involving younger scholars. Through the Workshops Program, the Academy is now a major facilitator of collective intellectual work in the social sciences in Australia.
The ASSA Workshops Program is a competitive program bestowing grants to assist social sciences researchers to convene a two-day, multidisciplinary research workshop. Those wishing to submit a proposal for an Academy Workshop should follow the ASSA workshop guidelines and use the Workshop application form.
The Call for proposals for workshops to be held between July 2012 and June 2013 is now open.
The closing date for applications is Friday 21 October 2011.
