Each year, SEAREG conducts events designed for participants to engage in thoughtful discussion and analysis of critical research questions affecting the countries of Southeast Asia.

Annual Conferences

The core SEAREG events are our semi-annual conferences in North America and, since 2017, in Asia. At these meetings, SEAREG Fellows present unpublished working papers, promoting dialogue on salient issues affecting the region.

These events also feature keynotes by senior scholars and policy practitioners and provide ample opportunities for networking, a chance to explore collaborative research projects, and a forum for younger scholars to learn more about the realities of an academic or policy-oriented career path.

The conference schedule and environment evolve each year in response to feedback from members.
