Travel to Australia - PAI Conference
We are pleased to confirm that the Pan Asia Institute will provide funding (airfare, insurance, accommodations, and meals) for up to four IU students to participate in the Australian National University's (ANU) Asia Pacific Week 2011, July 10-14, 2011 in Canberra. This highly-selective, five day conference will bring together 100 graduate and undergraduate students from across Australia and around the world to participate in seminars, panel discussions, and other forums related to the Asia Pacific region. It presents a wonderful opportunity for students to network not only with peers, but with leading scholars and professionals focused on Asia and the Pacific. The attached announcement as well as the APW Overview provide further specifics (please note that the latter refers only to graduate student participation - the organizers have confirmed that this is a typo and accomplished, upper-level undergraduates are also welcome to apply). Information can also be found online at: asiapacificweek.anu.edu.au
Any student interested in participating in the program must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and have an academic interest in the region. Undergraduates must also have at least 75 credits completed at the time of application. A brief application form (attached), a resume or cv, and one letter of recommendation are needed to apply. Students should submit their complete application packet by email to panasia@indiana.edu no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 20, 2011. We regret the incredibly short lead time, but only learned of this opportunity recently.
