Register now for our second public Masterclass with Professor Shamit Saggar, Director of the UWA Public Policy Institute. As part of our Indo-Pacific Future Leaders Programme, Professor Shamit will be exploring the intersections of evidence-based public policy, diplomacy, foreign affairs and culture.

Professor Saggar is the inaugural director of the UWA Public Policy Institute, having prior experience as senior advisor to former British prime minister Tony Blair. His directorship provides policy-focused thought leadership, professional development and public sector partnerships that increase policy officials' capabilities and provides leadership on issues which impact WA, Australia and the Indo-Pacific region.

The Masterclass is run by the Perth Hub of the ASEAN-Australia Strategic Youth Partnership (AASYP), with generous support from the Perth US-Consulate and UWA Public Policy Institute.
