The ANU Australian Studies Institute (AuSI) is calling for expressions of interest from ANU PhD candidates and ANU early career researchers for the 2025 Winter Institute: Techne and the Human Sciences in the 21st Century, held at the University of Tokyo in Japan from 7—10 January 2025.

The Winter Institute is an annual collaboration between ANU, the University of Tokyo, New York University and the University of Bonn. The Institute involves a 3-day seminar program on an interdisciplinary theme. The program involves keynote lectures, faculty papers and graduate student presentations including cross-disciplinary questioning. The Institute also includes social and networking events for delegates.

AuSI is offering four delegate positions to the 2025 Winter Institute. Two places will be on offer for ANU PhD candidates and two places for ANU early career academic staff (ANU Levels A and B).

Applications are encouraged from all disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds. Participants will be expected to present a short paper (15 minutes) and participate in Institute forums and discussions. Upon return participants will be required to give their presentation at a follow-up symposium at ANU at a date to be set. This will provide an opportunity to reflect on how the discussion in Tokyo has further shaped their thinking on the issue.

The closing date to apply for the 2025 Winter Institute: 'Techne and the Human Sciences in the 21st Century' is Midnight (AEST) Wednesday 13 November 2024.
