About Us!

This website is dedicated to making it easier for Australians to embark on postgraduate study in Europe.

As well as providing a host of links to relevant websites in Europe and Australia ASiE also undertakes research and consultation with the EU Commission, European governments and a great number of universities and foundations. The aim is to produce and update as much as possible all information concerning grants and scholarships available to Australian students seeking to pursue doctoral studies in Europe.

The results of ASiE’s research on grants and scholarships is delivered into the Jason database with which this site is connected.

ASiE is an evolving project. Currently its focus is primarily on those seeking to do doctoral studies but it is planned in the future to widen this to Masters and eventually even undergraduate study.

This website is an initiative of the Contemporary Europe Research Centre (CERC) at the University of Melbourne. In its initial incarnation it received seeding funding and support from the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training, The Delegation of the European Commission to Australia and New Zealand and The National Europe Centre at the Australian National University. The new ASiE website acknowledges the financial and other support we have received from the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

CERC would like to extend its thanks to all the above institutions, the staff of Jason, and the University of Melbourne’s Arts IT and University IT departments for their support.
