The Australian Consortium for ‘In-Country’ Indonesian Studies (ACICIS - pronounced Ah-chee-chis, as an Indonesian would say it) is an innovative, non-profit, national educational consortium that was established in 1994 to develop and coordinate high-quality, semester-long study programs at Indonesian partner universities for Australian university students. Today ACICIS offers a variety of study options in Indonesia and is also open to non-Australians and private individuals. ACICIS currently has 26 Australian member universities (including nearly all of Australia’s leading institutions in the field of Indonesian studies)and two European member universities (SOAS University of London and Leiden University). It is coordinated by a small secretariat based at The University of Western Australia and governed by a National Reference Group consisting of senior Indonesian Studies academics representing all Australian states.
