HPAIR Harvard Conference 2027 (5–7 February): International Conference for Students and Young Professionals

The annual Harvard Conference of the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) takes place at Harvard University from 5 to 7 February 2027, and applications are open on the conference website. The programme includes speaker sessions with leaders from business, policy and academia, small executive seminars, the Impact Challenge case competition and an international cultural night. The conference is not funded: delegates pay a ticket fee and cover their own travel and lodging; a limited number of merit- and need-based scholarships are awarded to early-round applicants only, and international students can receive them. Delegates must be 18 by the conference, and non-U.S. citizens need a B1/B2 visitor visa, which HPAIR does not sponsor. Selection has two stages: an online form with a résumé and short answers, then a video or online interview. Round closing dates are not published on the page, so apply early.
