The Australian National University Asia Pacific Week 2019 , Australia (Funded)

The Australian National University's Asia Pacific Week is an interdisciplinary, student-run conference aimed at high-achieving students and young professionals from around the world with an interest in Asia and the Pacific.

Now in its ninth year, the 2019 conference will continue the tradition of bringing together students, young professionals, policymakers and senior officials of the highest calibre for a week of stimulating discussion and debate.

Under the theme of ‘New Horizons: Identities, Challenges and Opportunities', Asia Pacific Week will take delegates on a journey looking into the future. What new ideas and movements have influenced the region? What challenges do countries face in the region individually and collectively? Is the region's identity fragmenting or becoming stronger than ever before? And most importantly, what opportunities are there for constructive and positive change?

The scholarship is decided by the strength of both delegate and scholarship application.
