About 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.

Mission

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
Connect talented delegates with some of today's leaders in academia, business and government.

Since 1991, HPAIR has organized 43 conferences in 15 different host countries, touching the lives of more than 10,000+ students and young professionals. Our conferences feature world-class speakers and guests to foster mentorship, networking, and guidance opportunities for delegates.
