HBS Engagement Across the Region

Since establishing the Asia-Pacific Research Center as its first international research outpost in 1999, HBS has continued to increase its presence globally to assist with faculty research and strengthen connections with local alumni.

In the years since, the School has added the Harvard Center Shanghai and a research office in Singapore to more broadly support activities in the Asia-Pacific region. These include case research, events for alumni and other thought leaders, facilitation of the FIELD Global Immersion and Immersive Field Courses, and coordination of regional participation in HBS’s Global Colloquium on Participant-Centered Learning, which brings together academics from around the world for an on-campus program that inspires innovative teaching and course design. The following are highlights of the School’s work in Asia Pacific in 2019–2020.
