The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) is collaboration between the students and faculty of Harvard University that strives to promote discourse on critical issues affecting Asia and its relations with the world. As such, we organize annual conferences that bring together top global university students and renowned academic, government, and business leaders to promote such international discourse.

Past speakers at HPAIR conferences include: Kim Dae-jung (Former President, Republic of South Korea and Nobel Laureate), S. R. Nathan (President, Singapore), Kim Young-sam ( President, Republic of South Korea), Norodom Ranariddh (Prime Minister, Cambodia), Fred Hu (Managing Director, Goldman Sachs Asia), Jeffrey Sachs, (Professor of Economics, Columbia University).

We feel that you will find HPAIR conferences to be meaningful, global, and exciting. Not only is it a great opportunity to interact with world renowned speakers and leaders, but it is also a terrific opportunity to make new friends from all over the world.
