Established in 1964 in the Division of Economics, now The Arndt-Corden Department of Economics, of The Australian National University's College of Asia and the Pacific, Crawford School of Public Policy, the Project monitors and analyses recent economic developments in Indonesia; informs Australian governments, business, and the wider community about those developments, and about future prospects; and stimulates research on the Indonesian economy. The Project is well known and respected in Indonesia and in other places where Indonesia attracts serious scholarly and official interest. Our other activities are including the annual Indonesia Update conferences, the publishing of Update Books, Forum Kajian Pembangunan, Indonesia Study Group seminars, Sadli Lectures (with the LPEM Faculty of Economics University of Indonesia), the Hadi Soesastro Policy Forums (with the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta), BIES Forums, and collaborative research networks with various institutions in countries such as Australia, Indonesia, United States, United Kingdom and Germany.
