HARVARD COLLEGE PROJECT FOR ASIAN AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

PARTNERSHIP PROSPECTUS 2019 HARVARD COLLEGE CONFERENCE CAMBRIDGE, MA

The Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) is a recognized student organization at Harvard College.

Since 1991, we have organized two conferences annually, including an elite conference on Harvard’s undergraduate campus as well as the largest annual student-run Harvard College affiliated conference in the Asia-Pacific region.

WHAT IS HPAIR? Each year, 300 of the most well-qualified delegates from over 40 countries are selected from an international applicant pool of thousands to discuss the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region.

Our 4-day academic program includes keynote speeches, panels, workshops, case and pitch competitions, and networking sessions.

OBJECTIVES Provide a dynamic forum of exchange on international issues vital to Asia.

Foster long-term relationships among young leaders from around the globe.

Connect talented delegates with today’s leaders in academia, business, and government.
