Second Asian Forum on Global Governance in October
After its successful maiden meeting last year, the Asian Forum on Global Governance will be organised again in New Delhi from October 14 - 24 this year.

The Asian Forum on Global Governance is an annual workshop jointly organized by Observer Research Foundation and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, Germany.

The nomination and application process is going on since March 15. The last date for submission of applications is June 1.

Though the emphasis is on Asia, there will be a fair mix of young leaders from Europe, Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. The participants will be drawn from diverse sectors and streams of study. Each of these participants will, at the outset, be nominated by senior figures - Heads of Governments, Ministries and Government Departments, the CEO’s of major National and Multinational Companies, Heads of Universities and of Non-Profit Organizations - and thereafter carefully selected by an eminent jury of experts.

The participants should be between 28 and 35 years of age with significant professional experience.

The Asian Forum on Global Governance will take a close look at the Asian region and at the challenges facing the global community. The primary objective of this forum is to provide an instructional and networking platform for young professional leaders to discuss, debate and challenge conventional interpretations of the existing complex realities confronting communities and leaders.

In the first AsianForum last year, 46 participants from 29 countries had participated in the programme.
