Why you might love this opp:

Established in 2017, the AsiaGlobal Fellows Program is a Hong Kong-based program that aims to cultivate future leaders. Through a rigorous curriculum, experiential learning, and engagement with experts, Fellows gain deep insights into geopolitics, economics, sustainability, technology, and governance. Thus far, the Program has nurtured 104 Fellows from over 55 nations across all continents.

The AsiaGlobal Fellows Program is an interdisciplinary global leadership development initiative for mid-career professionals with a strong interest and track record in public policy. It aims to nurture future leaders and create influencers with a deeper understanding of global issues from Asian perspectives.

The Program is directed and administered by Asia Global Institute (AGI) , a multidisciplinary institute which aims to bring Asian perspectives to global issues. AGI provides platforms for leaders to explore timely and critical issues in an informed and objective manner. Its research and programs are supported by international academics, practitioners and policymakers in Asia and beyond. Fellows will have opportunities to interact with these global thinkers and thought leaders via the AGI’s network.

The AsiaGlobal Fellows Program typically accepts up to 20 participants for each year. Based in Hong Kong, the interdisciplinary Program usually runs from September to November. 

The program provides:

  • A stipend to help with living costs during the Program when Fellows are physically present in Hong Kong 
  • Accommodations during the formal fellowship duration 
  • Expenses for study tour

All admitted Fellows need to cover their travel expenses to and from Hong Kong. 

Applications are open until March 31, 2026.
