We are excited to share the release of the @ACOLA_Aus and the Australian Academy of the Humanities' latest report, Mapping Australia’s Indonesia Research Capability. This pivotal report spotlighting Australia and Indonesia’s dynamic research partnership, provides a comprehensive overview of existing bilateral research ties and identifies key opportunities to advance our shared knowledge. Focusing on collaborative strengths in society and culture, health and medicine, and energy, the findings reflect both successes and challenges in building impactful, mutual research initiatives. Key insights include: ✨ A substantial increase in co-authored publications, with 8,500 co-authored works in the past decade, highlighting the growth and significance of Australia-Indonesia collaborations. ✨ Australia’s standing as Indonesia’s fourth research partner and its position as a global leader in producing research focused on Indonesia. The report underscores the importance of language, communication, and cultural competencies in maximising cross-disciplinary collaboration.
