As part of the Institute''s mission to contribute to the intellectual life of Singapore, ISEAS organizes the Singapore Lecture, the Asia and Pacific Lecture, and other public lectures.

Singapore Lecture

The Singapore lecture, inaugurated in 1980, is designed to provide an opportunity for distinguished statesmen and leaders of thought and knowledge to reach a wider audience in Singapore.  The presence of such eminent persons allows Singaporeans, especially younger executives and decision-makers in both the private and public sectors, the benefit of exposure to leading world figures who address topics of international and regional interest.

Asia and Pacific Lecture
 
The Asia and Pacific Lecture series was launched in May 1997 as part of the continuing effort of ISEAS to contribute to the intellectual life of Singapore.  The speakers are leading political leaders and technocrats, outstanding entrepreneurs and businessmen, and eminent scholars and professionals from the Asia-Pacific region
