APISA workshops are usually conducted over a period of two days. The main individuals responsible for these workshops are the Workshop Conveners. Proceedings from these workshops are often released as an edited book by a renowned academic publishing house. The workshop content must reflect an attempt to generate theoretical knowledge.

Scholars are invited to bid for a Workshop. There is no deadline for submission of proposals. All applications must be submitted to the Executive Secretary. Preference will be given to research projects related to APISA's scholarly programs and those proposals that show concrete evidence of supplementary funding. Distinguished academics, especially those who have demonstrated a track record of publishing and organizing conferences, may also be invited to organize these Workshops.
