To develop an Indigenous Governance Research Network

This initiative is the first national attempt at networking research in the emerging field of Indigenous Governance. The aim is to develop a collaborative and productive research network on Indigenous Governance, well informed by expertise from Australia and internationally. The Network aims, using best technology, to enable researchers and practitioners to share expertise; facilitate inter-disciplinary collaboration; develop research tools; disseminate best practice; and mentor the development of young researchers. The Network will be unique nationally and internationally. Expected outcomes include, improved research practice; enhanced understanding of the components of Indigenous governance; practical application of research findings; and enhanced governance capacity.
