“Australia and the Indian Ocean: Great Opportunities, Big Challenges” 

 Tuesday, November 23, from 0845 to 1300hrs. Venue: PCEC Meeting Room 7, Level 2.

The seminar is hosted by the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) at the University of 

Wollongong. It is convened by Professor Sam Bateman, Professorial Research Fellow at ANCORS and co-author of the recent

report “Our western front – Australia and the Indian Ocean” for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI).

Indian Ocean.
