We are currently looking for PhD candidates and postdocs whose work pertains to Southeast Asia to be Mentors for CUSEAC 2017. There will be two Workshops during the conference, where delegates will collaborate in groups of eight to discuss current ASEAN issues and formulate an action plan to address them. Mentors are responsible for facilitating discussion of a group in the Workshops and giving guidance to the delegates when developing solutions. There are no restrictions on the topics that can be discussed, but we will prepare briefing documents on Economics, Political and Social issues in ASEAN for the delegates. We will also be organising a briefing and practise session prior to the event for all selected Mentors. We gladly welcome Mentors across all disciplines as long as their area of expertise is related to Southeast Asia.

If you are interested in becoming a Mentor, please kindly complete this form by 5 February 2017. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to share your work relating to Southeast Asia, network with other passionate researchers and students from the region as well as shape the conversation around the future of ASEAN. The CUSEAC delegates would highly benefit from any insights you could offer!
