HARDI 2021 Archive / Information for Participating Ph.D. Students
Welcome to HARDI 2021!
Who should attend
The HARDI is offered to an invited cohort of up to 30 students from selected Ph.D. programs across Europe, Asia, and North America. Admission to the Institute is by invitation only. Only high-quality Ph.D. programs throughout the world will be contacted to nominate one Ph.D. student.
Tuition and fees
There is no tuition for attending the program as the Shidler College covers instructional costs. However, students (or their schools) are responsible for all other expenses such as travel, food, and lodging.

Lecture requirements
The exceptional researchers who will teach HARDI will choose and offer a reading list to Ph.D. students a month in advance of their classes. Invited Ph.D. students will obtain and read the assigned reading list and in preparation of attending their classes in Hawaii. HARDI classes will be offered in seminar format, and Ph.D. students are expected to prepare and share ideas. Upon completing the program, students are issued a HARDI Certificate of Completion.
