Conference Host
The Oceanic Conference on International Studies is Australasia’s premier International Relations conference and the largest in Oceania, and provides an exceptional forum for cutting-edge research and discussion both from and about the region.
The purpose of OCIS is to bring together the growing community of international studies scholars (including postgraduates) from across the Oceanic region (Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific), in order to showcase the variety of world-class research being conducted in the region and foster scholarly networks and relationships.
The inaugural conference was held in 2004 at the Australian National University, which also hosted the 2020 conference. Other hosts have included the University of Queensland (2008, 2016), the University of Auckland (2010), the University of Sydney (2012) and The University of Melbourne (2006, 2014, 2023).
In 2025, OCIS is hosted by UNSW Sydney in partnership with the University of Sydney, the University of Technology Sydney, and the University of Wollongong.
OCIS The Organising Committee would like to thank the UNSW School of Social Sciences, the UNSW Faculty of Arts, Design, and Architecture, and the Office of the UNSW DVC Global for their very generous financial support.
We also acknowledge the generous support of our Conference Sponsors.
