Giving to ANJeL
ANJeL welcomes cash and in-kind donations to assist us with our
activities in teaching, research, events and outreach. You might like
to make a general donation or tie your contribution to a specific
activity (eg, a jointly-badged conference, student scholarships, or a
teaching and learning fund). You might like to contribute in-kind
support, eg, by offering guest classes in our intensive teaching
programs in Tokyo and Kyoto.
If you are a government or private sector organisation, whether in
Australia or overseas, you might also like to involve ANJeL in a
collaborative research project. Under the Australian Research Council "Linkage" competitive grants scheme, the Australian government will
contribute a dollar for every contribution (whether cash or in-kind)
provided by an eligible partner organisation. Such projects must be
genuine research partnerships; satisfy the research interests of both
ANJeL and the partner; and produce both intellectual and strategic
benefits.
If you are interested in giving to ANJeL, whether by way of cash,
in-kind contribution or research support, please send us an expression
of interest at anjel@law.anu.edu.au. Please understand if we are
unable to accept your gift, since all contributions must be consistent
with ANJeL's charter, conform with our existing contractual
arrangements, and receive approval by each of the three ANJeL
universities. |
