2013 was another good year for the institute and its members. We continued our program of seminars, career development, networking and related professional activities, as outlined in this report.

AAPI was reviewed by Curtin, along with all the other university research institutes and centres. As a result, our funding was confirmed for a further five years.

Although a number of colleagues moved on to appointments elsewhere, we welcomed four new Post-doctoral Fellows as associate members.

We also welcomed Mr Mike Burbridge, Director of the Australian Sustainability Development Institute, to the Advisory Board as a representative of Curtin’s Office of Research and Development.

In particular, the Indian Ocean Futures Initiative has to date resulted in the Indian Ocean Futures 2014 Conference, together with related developments to position Curtin as a national and international leader in the important field of Indian Ocean Studies.

As always, my thanks to our members and our advisory board. We look forward to continuing our core activities and to extending and refining our research emphases and orientations throughout 2014 and beyond.
