Otago Foreign Policy School opportunity 2023


As part of our NextGen Programme, the Foundation is offering four travel grants for emerging scholars to attend the 2023 Otago Foreign Policy School - Populism and Global Politics, and also attend the Foundation's auxiliary workshop and roundtable.

The grants are for up to $800 each and are to contribute towards flights, accommodation and registration.

Successful grantees will arrive prior to the Otago Foreign Policy School (Friday 30 June - Sunday 2 July) to attend the Foundation's Friday workshop and roundtable. 

We will be joined by ASEAN diplomats, the EU Delegation to New Zealand, representatives from DPMC, MOD and MFAT, as well as students and academics from the University of Otago.

In addition to stimulating conversations, the events will be fantastic networking opportunities for participants interested in a career in foreign policy. 

If you'd like to join us, please submit an expression of interest, comprised of:

  • Your CV
  • A cover letter describing why you want to attend, how you might benefit, and what you can contribute to the discussions.

Please email  this to [email protected] before May 1 2023.

Eligibility

This opportunity is being offered to postgraduate students around New Zealand as part of growing our Track II genepool. The Asia New Zealand Foundation is a taxpayer-funded organisation and as such limits NextGen opportunities to New Zealand citizens or those with New Zealand permanent residence.
