To create a close, personal, and professional network of "public intellectuals" in Asia, the Japan Foundation and the International House of Japan (I-House) have jointly been conducting the Asian Leadership Fellow Program since 1996. Up till now, almost 100 fellows from 16 Asian countries have participated in this program.

 

Each year, public intellectuals from Asia who have deep roots in civil society and who play a leading role in initiating solidarity among concerned people reside at the I-House for about two months and intensively discuss regional and global concerns through dialogue, seminars, field research, and socializing. By offering the opportunity of living together, ALFP seeks to create a close, personal and professional network of public intellectuals in Asia.

 

We welcome your interest in applying for the Asia Leadership Fellow Program 2013. The theme for 2013 is “The Future of Asia, the World and Humanity after Development and Growth.”
