Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into an exciting new initiative by East Asia Research that promises to transform undergraduate research opportunities. The East Asia Research Undergraduate Research Conference 2026 is set to launch as a groundbreaking platform for undergraduate students to gain early exposure to academic research. This conference will run parallel to major East Asia Research conferences throughout 2026, providing students with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a professional academic environment. The initiative builds on the success of previous events, such as the Asia-Pacific Conference on Economics and Finance, where significant undergraduate participation was observed.

The East Asia Research Undergraduate Research Conference 2026 aims to enhance students' academic and professional readiness through poster presentations, selected conference sessions, and targeted workshops. A highlight of the conference is the "What Do I Do?" workshop series, which offers practical insights into career pathways in academic research, industry roles, and postgraduate study. This initiative not only supports undergraduate research development but also provides universities and academic supervisors with a structured platform for experiential learning and international exposure.
