About ESE

Equal Student Exchange (ESE) is a volunteer-based student network which provides free information about student exchange and study overseas opportunities.

Focusing on providing information to students from developing countries, ESE acknowledges the financial and organisational obstacles these students must often come to face. It is the belief of ESE that both universities and students can benefit through international engagement. A more culturally diverse range of international students will contribute to the continued exchange of knowledge, ideas and culture between different universities and countries.

The volunteers of ESE recognize the importance of establishing enduring educational, cultural and professional links through student exchange.

Asia Pacific Week - Australian National University


Applications for Asia Pacific Week 2014 are now open! 
Asia Pacific Week 2014 aims to explore the theme of ‘GlobaliseAsian’ and will examine significant and controversial issues facing the region through interactive and challenging sessions.

The conference will give delegates the opportunity to experience the Australian National University’s expertise in the study of the Asia-Pacific and network with the next generation of Asia Pacific specialists.
We invite all interest applicants to submit their application. 
Applications close on April 6 2014.
About the Conference
Asia Pacific Week 2014 will be the fourth conference of its kind hosted by The Australian National University and will explore the theme of 'GlobaliseAsian'.
Today, there is a common assumption in the developed world that as countries modernise, they become more Westernised. However, this suggests that modernity is simply a product of ideas, systems and technology originating in the ‘West’. Instead of an era of globalisation, we are entering a time of ‘GlobaliseAsian’.
Asia and the Pacific’s remarkable rise and economic development means that it is set to make its mark on the world. But is the world ready for a world shaped by it? What this world may look like and how the world can benefit from the Asia-Pacific region is the focus of Asia Pacific Week 2014 (APW2014).
