Meet other aspiring Korea experts at the AIIA National Conference
The AIIA, in association with the Australia-Korea Foundation, is offering the chance for eight aspiring experts on Korea to attend the AIIA National Conference, to exchange ideas with each other, and to meet Korean experts speaking at the conference masterclasses and main event. In principle, the AIIA will try to select at least one early career professional from each state and territory, so if Canberra is normally a bit far for you, don’t worry, we will cover your flights and accommodation!
Details and Selection Criteria
Successful applicants for this program will receive:
- Flights and three nights’ accommodation with breakfast if not based in Canberra. The AIIA will book your flights.
- A welcome dinner on the evening of 15 November.
- Full access to masterclasses on 16 November.
- Access to a reception hosted at the residence of an ambassador on the evening of 16 November
- Access to the Australian Institute of International Affairs National Conference on 17 November.
- Lunch as part of the masterclass and conference packages on 16 and 17 November.
- Access to the Australian Institute of International Affairs Gala Dinner with keynote speaker Foreign Minister Senator the Honourable Penny Wong on the evening of 17 November
Travel to and from airports and other incidentals and meals are not covered by this arrangement.
What we would encourage:
- We would encourage you to write an article for the fresh perspectives section of our web publication, Australian Outlook, based on knowledge gained at the conference.
- We would encourage you to post about your experience at the conference through your social media accounts, and the AIIA may choose to share your observations on its accounts.
Selection Criteria:
We are seeking people who are:
- “early career professionals,” that is, they are no more than ten years out of their last period of education and are at the start of their first career. However, graduate students may also apply.
- interested in Korea, and can demonstrate their knowledge and interest through written statements.
- AIIA members. AIIA membership, whilst not essential, would be a distinct advantage.
Those applicants that lack the ability to self-fund attendance are particularly encouraged to apply.
