The Visiting Scholars Program at the ARC Centre of Excellence in
Policing and Security is now accepting applications for 2012. The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Policing
and Security (CEPS) was established in 2007 under the ARC Centres of
Excellence special initiative to boost policing and security research
capacity in Australia amid the growing complexity and
internationalisation of transnational crime in the post 9/11
environment. Headquartered at Griffith University, the ARC Centre partnership includes The Australian National University, The University of Queensland, and Charles Sturt University. CEPS has developed numerous partnerships with industry partners, and Australian and international researchers.
The CEPS Visiting Scholars Program supports domestic and international scholars
wishing to undertake research at any of our four university nodes
(Griffith University, The Australian National University, The University
of Queensland and Charles Sturt University), as part of its mission to
promote research. The program is highly competitive and aims to have
approximately 8 – 10 visiting scholars each year.
The Centre has a broad research agenda which includes:-
- Vulnerable Communities
- Extending Frontiers
- Governing for Security
- Attacking Serious and Organised Crime
Applications from Scholars interested in these themes from any
discipline are welcomed. Visitors will be invited to participate in the
Centre’s programs, including the Centre’s seminars, roundtables,
workshops and conferences across our four nodes.
