The Cultural Division of TECO-NY is pleased to announce the Global Initiatives Symposium in Taiwan (GIS Taiwan), hosted by National Taiwan University and taking place from July 8th to 12th, 2012. The conference is calling for essay submissions on topics of "Innovation and Change." While specific guidelines can be found on the official website, submissions should come in the form of an action plan that allows the applicant to propose an innovative project that he or she would like to initiate to produce benefits to individuals, organizations, or society as a whole. Specific topics should come from the applicants’ own perspectives and backgrounds, but each action plan must explain its innovativeness by describing how the trend is identified, how it is analyzed, and how to take the proposed action.
One-hundred students will be selected through the competition to attend the conference in Taiwan and will be provided with full accommodations and meals, along with a $530 flight subsidy. Applicants must be undergraduate or graduate students, and must not be born prior to 1978. Applicants must register via the official website before March 17th, 2012 and papers must be submitted by April 1st, 2012.
