The Australia Indonesia Centre

The Australia-Indonesia Centre (AIC) is a bilateral collaborative research initiative established by both governments, leading universities, and industry. Its mission is to advance people-to-people links in science, technology, education, innovation and culture. Established in 2014, the AIC tackles shared national challenges through research, and through engagement activities it promotes greater mutual understanding between the two nations. The AIC draws together a consortium of 11 leading universities – seven in Indonesia and four in Australia. It continues to build upon the power of these connections, with an emphasis on the importance of people-to-people relationships in building Australia’s and Indonesia’s influence and profile in the region and around the world.
