Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR)

The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) is a student-run organization of the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences. HPAIR organizes Harvard University's largest annual student conferences in the Asia-Pacific region. Since 1991, we have continuously gathered a growing pool of international students from top universities, renowned academics, business professionals, and political leaders to engage in our rigorous conference events. Our programs intend to achieve three goals: provide a dynamic forum of exchange on international issues vital to Asia; foster long-term relationships among young leaders from around the globe; and connect talented delegates with some of today's leaders in academia, business and government. Today, HPAIR offers two annual conferences: the Harvard Conference in February and the Asia Conference in August. Through plenary sessions, panels, keynotes, workshops, and case studies, the conferences provide valuable opportunities for discussion about challenges and trends in the international landscape. The conferences bring students together to interact with a distinguished group of speakers and explores issues ranging from international security to natural resources.
