East Asia Research
The Crawford School houses both the secretariats for the East Asian Forum (EAF) and the East Asia Bureau of Economic Research (EABER). EAF brings together Australia’s expertise on East Asia while EABER brings together the top economic research institutes and researchers in the region. Together, they promote dialogue and research on the most important economic, political and other issues in the region and Australia’s position in the region.
EABER and EAF were officially launched in Australia by the then Treasurer, Peter Costello, in the Menzies library at the ANU in Canberra on 17 October 2006. EABER was launched internationally by Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Boediono, in Bogor in 2005.
