Home Track II Otago Foreign Policy School opportunity

Otago Foreign Policy School opportunity

As part of our NextGen Programme, the Foundation offers four travel grants for emerging scholars to attend the annual Otago Foreign Policy School in Dunedin and also attend the Foundation's auxiliary workshop and roundtable.

The grants are for up to $1000 each and are to contribute towards flights, accommodation, meals not covered during the conference and registration.

Successful grantees will arrive prior to the Otago Foreign Policy School to attend the Foundation's Friday workshop and roundtable. 

We will be joined by representatives from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as well as students and academics from the University of Otago.

In addition to stimulating conversations, the events will be fantastic networking opportunities for participants interested in a career in foreign policy.
