The tentative period of the competition at NUS (onsite) is projected from early October to mid-December; after which a panel of judges appointed by NUS will choose the winning team to head to Canada in May next year.

Starting from financial year 2016 (1 April 2016), NUS International Relations Office (IRO) has introduced a new funding scheme for students doing overseas internships that are not administered by IRO.
With some terms and conditions, this NUS International Internship Award scheme will generally support all NUS students embarking on an overseas internship, including faculty-facilitated internships and student self-sourced internships. This will ensure that student interns, who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore PRs, can receive additional co-funding under the International Enterprise Young Talent Programme (IE YTP).

Terms and conditions:
Details about the NUS International Internship Award can be found here. Please refer to IRO if you have any query.
We would like to encourage all FASS students going on overseas internships to apply for this award even if it is a self-sourced internship. In addition FASS students can claim credits for their internship as well. More information can be found here.
Please note that this is an announcement on behalf of the organiser of this conference: The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Please refer to them directly if you have any query on this.
It is with pleasure I extend the below invitation to NUS students to participate in the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations 2016 Asia Conference which will take place between 19 and 23 August 2016. The Conference is Harvard University’s largest annual student conference in the Asia-Pacific region. This year it will be hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and will focus on 5 tracks, namely, Environment and Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Technology, Humanitarian Affairs, Business and the World Economy, and Governance and Diplomacy.
The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) is a student-run organization of the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Since 1991, they have continuously gathered a growing pool of international students from top universities, renowned academics, business professionals, and political leaders to engage in their rigorous educational events. The HPAIR Asia Conference is a 5-day academic program aiming to enrich delegates with a broader exposure to issues spanning multiple arenas, including political, social, economic, cultural, and business. As the world becomes more globalized as well as commercialized, the boundary between business and other aspects of society is increasingly less rigid. The HPAIR Asia Conference seeks to capture this phenomenon and help delegates understand its impacts on the future of international relations.
Application for delegates has now started and you are invited to join this wonderful event! The regular deadline for application is 15 May, 2016. For more information, please visit www.hpair.org
