Young Leaders Training and Research Program in Regional Cooperation and Development Fellowship

The Northeast Asia Economic Forum (NEAEF) is pleased to announce the Young Leaders Training and Research Program in Regional Cooperation and Development Fellowship for 2010. This year’s program will take place from August 13 to 29, 2010 (dates include travel time) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

The Training and Research Program consists of in-depth seminars by leading academics and policy-makers and a series of collaborative group work devoted to regional cooperation, followed by the two-day participation of the annual Northeast Asia Economic Forum (August 26-27, 2010). This is an opportunity to expand your institution’s network through collaboration with researchers and practitioners from countries across Northeast Asia and the U.S. to make progress on issues of importance to the region.

To overcome the continuing institutional, cultural, and economic barriers to regional cooperation, NEAEF was created and formalized at conferences on Northeast Asian economic cooperation in 1991 in Changchun and Tianjin. Dr. Lee-Jay Cho, one of NEAEF’s key founders, continues to serve as the organization’s Chairman.Since 1991, through dialogue, education, and training, NEAEF has served as a vehicle for exchange of information and ideas among Northeast Asian and North American policymakers, businesspersons, academics, and members of nongovernmental organizations. Through an annual meeting, on-going working groups, and ad hoc meetings and seminars, the NEAEF network is dedicated to promoting NEAEF activities and goals in the area of policy, economics and culture.

By participating in the activities of NEAEF, Young Leaders Program (YLP) Fellows gain exposure to cutting edge regional cooperation issues by being given the opportunity to meet with prominent Forum guests from the countries of Northeast Asia.

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2010 YLP in Mongolia, for questions about the fellowship program, or if you are interested in being a YLP Fellow next year, please contact our office for additional information, OR check back here in 2011 for next year's fellowship.
