At The Lab, we're fascinated by the big issues in Indo-Pacific development cooperation.
What we do
We are a platform for ideas and debate
We’re fascinated by the big issues in Australia’s development program. We take one gnarly issue at a time, gather the best of the best from the region, Government, and academia, and dive deep to unpack the issue – and develop options for the future.
We produce:
Develop
An essay series publication.
The Readout
A short podcast series.
Situation Room
A Chatham House-style dialogue.
Ideas Lab
A compendium of ideas for the future.
We provide bespoke analysis on Indo-Pacific development
The Lab also provides development analysis to a range of clients (think academia, government, non-profits, and private sector) seeking sharp and frank information.
