Southeast Asian Young Leaders’ Programme Visiting Fellowship

Duration: Up to 3 months
Location: Singapore

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is the world’s leading independent authority on global security issues, providing information and analysis on a wide range of international security and political risk questions. The Institute conducts research on the problems of conflict, however caused, that may have a significant military dimension, and analyses international trends, including economic developments, which may have strategic implications. The Institute convenes high-level conferences – such as the annual IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore – that bring together government officials, recognized experts, opinion-formers and business leaders at the most senior level, in order to enhance diplomatic exchanges and to enable the crafting of more effective policy on strategic matters.

In 2016, the IISS inaugurated the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue Southeast Asian Young Leaders’ Programme, to increase representation from the region and the diversity of views at the Dialogue. The Programme annually sponsors 40 Young Leaders who are in the early- to mid-stage of their careers to attend the Dialogue as full participants, as well as engage in an additional series of discussions on regional security issues amongst themselves prior to the Dialogue. Young Leaders have been military officers, government officials, legislators, think tankers, academics, journalists, and business figures.
