ASEF Tutorial Program

ASEF Tutorial Program is a program that focuses on the individual, their intellectual and personal growth. It is based on ASEF Junior Fellows working in small groups led by an individual tutor (i.e. professor) in the their field of study. Each group works on a chosen topic, followed by independent research and essay writing. Fellows present their essays and discuss ideas with other fellows and their mentor at the monthly meetings.

Round tables where discussions of interdisciplinary views on the chosen topic are held three times a year. At the end of the year, ASEF organizes a symposium and publishes a collection of the contributions made during the year. The head of the ASEF Tutorial Program is Rok Sekirnik, Ph. D.
