The Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) undertakes research into issues of cultural heritage protection in Asia and the Pacific, including Australia, and runs training workshops aimed at skills transfer to developing communities and countries in the region.
The Centre is closely connected with UNESCO, including its World Heritage Centre and especially its Asia Pacific Regional Office in Bangkok, Thailand. The Centre is also a member of Forum UNESCO, the Asian Academy for Heritage Management and AusHeritage.
CHCAP is based in the Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin University in Melbourne. In conjunction with the School of History, Heritage and Society, CHCAP offers postgraduate courses in Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies.
