The Centre for Pacific Studies at Nijmegen University

The Centre for Pacific Studies (CPS) at the University of Nijmegen (the Netherlands) was established in September 1991. The CPS has an interdisciplinary character and covers Southeast Asia and Oceania, including Aboriginal Australia. The Staff consists of anthropologists, legal anthropologists, development sociologists, geographers, historians and linguists at the University of Nijmegen and at the Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen.

The Centre aims at advancing basic and applied research in the regions mentioned; offering regular courses and coordinating teaching programmes within its field of interest; providing information about these regions. To these ends the Centre initiates and promotes research of both senior and junior staff, provides a platform for discussion, exchanges infor- mation on ongoing research, and organizes regular workshops, conferences, seminars and exhibitions.

The Centre is in the process of establishing a Documentation Centre, which aims at providing students, staff and others with information on ongoing research in the region. The establishment of this electronic medium is a main move in this process.
