CONFERENCE
Participants will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and views on specific health-based topics of relevance for both regions. They will explore possible approaches to tackle the barriers to health disparities in a way which encourages and acknowledges their participation. The programme will include, among others, discussions on public health issues from a multi-perspective approach – and mainly aims to empower the participants to:
1. Understand public health issues and challenges from the perspectives of Asia and Europe
2. Promote discussion on how reducing barriers to quality healthcare services can be addressed
3. Encourage young people to play an active role in promoting better health
ASEF University participants are usually not more than 25 years old and should preferably be in their final undergraduate year or first graduate year. Successful applicants should have strong academic credentials and established leadership skills through involvement in extra-curricular activities. The programme would generally benefit students of International relations, Asian and European Studies, Development Studies, Public Health, Medicine, Human Rights, Economics & Finance, Political and Social Sciences.
ASEF and UMED will finance accommodation and meals, as well as the official cultural programme throughout the event. In addition, each participant shall receive a 50% travel subsidy* (airfare, trains, bus, etc.) with a cap of 250 EUR for participants coming from Europe, and 500 EUR for those coming from Asia.
