The NSC envisions conducting seminars in three different ways:
Annual Himalayan Policy Research Conference
Nepal Study Center will attepmt to regularly schedule academic conference sessions under some professional associations like the one at the University of Wisconsin's South Asian Conference. The theme is broadly defined to include issues in development, democracy, conflict and the environment. The focus of conference deliberation is the Himalayan region, Nepal, and the countries ion South Asia.
Workshops and e-Seminars
NSC will try to conduct some special workshop at its venue on a regular basis. Such workshops or symposiums could also be carried out collaboratively with other interested parties. One such workshop was held in DC in collaboration with Liberal Democracy Nepal forum and the national Democratic Institute (DC).
Nepal Study Center wil also make efforts to conduct e-seminars on topics of general interest. Basically, academics and policymakers are invited to prepare scholarly articles. Such articles are then distributed among a select group of members for discussion and deliberation. The designated moderators then summarize such discussions for posting, disseminating, and publishing through the LDN forum and the LDN Bulletin journal.
NSC Lecture Series
NSC intends to conduct a lecture series and invite scholars to University of New Mexico for seminar presentation. Dr. Ram S. Mahat (Finance Minister) and Dr. Shankar Sharma (former Vice-Chair of the Nepal Planning Commission) were invited to UNM for talk programs.
