Welcome to the Web site of the ARC Network for Early European Research

The ARC Network for Early European Research (NEER) is a national framework for enhancing and supporting current Australian research into the culture and history of Europe between the fifth and early nineteenth centuries.

NEER sustains five main Research Themes: Cultural Memory; Social Fabric; Intellectual Formations: Science, Medicine and Philosophy; Early European/ Australasian Connections; and Religion and Spirituality, and a programme of digital initiatives and supports training for postgraduates and early career researchers.

NEER maintains a collaborative Web space, known as NEER Confluence which allows members of the Network and general web users to:

    • access a fast-growing database of information about the research activities
    of more than 300 NEER Participants.
    • browse researcher profiles, which include contact details, research interests,
    and publications.
    • find out more about the activities of the NEER Research Clusters and the
    Digital Services programme.

NEER is funded by the Australian Research Council and by a consortium of institutional partners. NEER is hosted by The University of Western Australia.
