The Greater Angkor Project is a multi-national collaborative research project between French, Cambodian and Australian researchers, but is primarily based at the University of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. All three of the partner institutions in the Greater Angkor Project (APSARA, EFEO, University of Sydney) contribute directors to the project as well as a range of other staff across many different disciplines.

In any given year, about fifty academics, professional archaeologists, volunteers and other researchers are actively involved in Project activities both in the field and at various institutions worldwide. In addition to researchers based within the three main partner institutions, there are a number of affiliated postgraduate students from elsewhere including the Netherlands, the United States, Finland and several other Australian universities.

The Greater Angkor Project is funded principally by the Australian Research Council, and this funding is currently in place until 2009. The project and its postgraduate students draw additional funding from a range of additional sources and funding bodies, notably the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering, the University of Sydney and the Carlyle Greenwell Bequest.
