The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), a partner university of The University of Manchester, is holding a World Youth Leaders Forum from 20 to 22 July 2011 in Hong Kong for approx. 100 participants. Undergraduate students from any discipline area are eligible to submit abstracts for consideration. The successful nominee(s) from The University of Manchester will be sponsored by CUHK.
The Forum has the following objectives:
(i) To provide a platform to university students worldwide to exchange views on topics of regional or global interest;
