This collaboration will strengthen Australian Studies in UCD and promote the thematic focus of the ASI. 

The agreement was signed at UCD’s Belfield campus by Professor Sally Wheeler, ANU, Pro-Vice Chancellor (International Strategy) and Professor Dolores O’Riordan, UCD Vice-President for Global Engagement. Also in attendance was Professor Shirley Leitch, Professional Research Fellow at the Australian Studies Institute.ANU is a trusted student mobility partner of UCD.
