Symposium
Details
The Institute of Strategic & International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia will be hosting PRAXIS, with support from Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Malaysia on 13-14 August 2024.
PRAXIS is ISIS Malaysia’s flagship public policy conference, designed to bridge ideas and to translate theory into practice. Since 2011, PRAXIS has convened policymakers, private sector, civil society and academia to engage in topics of national interests.
Our theme this year, Policies for a better tomorrow, encapsulates the precarious position Malaysia finds itself in today: rapid technological advancement, shifting global trade dynamics, a climate crisis and increasing demand for care amid an aging population, which necessitate forward-looking public policy solutions. PRAXIS 2024 aims to take stock of existing challenges, highlight solutions and chart a course forward.
PRAXIS is unique – distinguishing itself by embedding and integrating a research process to deliver impact. From pre-conference roundtables to solution-oriented panels at the conference, we ensure that every session is informed by research and stakeholder input. Through the publication of policy briefs, we provide insights and recommendations that continue to influence policy and practice long after PRAXIS, fostering ongoing dialogue and implementation of innovative solutions.
PRAXIS offers two types of sessions:
- Research: multistakeholder roundtables in the lead up to the conference help to identify key issues, which are then addressed in a solution-oriented panels at the conference. After the conference, a policy brief is produced, which is delivered to the desks of policymakers and relevant stakeholders.
- Spotlight: focusing on emerging issues and evolving policy areas, igniting public engagement and setting the stage for future discussions.
