Structure of the Program
The plan of the program is that it has two parts. The first part,
which takes place in the first two weeks, consists of mainly
lectures, three per day for most of the days, by experienced
researchers and editors of international journals. Three types of
lectures will be offered: writing and publishing academic papers;
frontiers of theory and academic work; the US and some Asian
economies and some of their economic issues. There will also be one
or two field trips to local businesses and/or government offices.
The third week (the second part of the program) is a mentoring
program, mainly for junior faculty and researchers. Each of the
participants will be paired with one mentor, who is a renowned and
experienced researcher. Each participant will present his/her work,
such as a paper and description of his/her work and research plan,
and will receive comments from the mentor, who will also present a
literature survey. There will also be a one-to-one meeting between
each participant and the mentor.
At the end of the second week, there will be a conference with
outside speakers. All participants will be local organizers, helping
organize the conference. They will also participate in the
conference.
Participants can join either the first part (the first
two weeks), the second part (the third week), or both parts. The
medium of instruction is English.
