The On-Campus Conference seeks to create a forum for dialogue and exchange by covering topics on development, globalization, public health, international relations, and cultural transformations. Among the 250 delegates, there will be both foreign participants as well as Harvard students in order to engage in thoughtful conversations about critical issues affecting Asia and the world today. They will attend plenary sessions, panels, and small, interactive evening discussion groups examining Asia’s current situation from interdisciplinary perspectives and studying its past achievements and upcoming challenges

The theme for the first On-Campus Conference will be“Cosmopolitan Asia: Diversity and Disparity”. For more detailed information about the previous conferences, please visit the official HPAIR-website www.hpair.org.
