This will be followed during the week, by other international experts from Singapore such as: Dr Liu Jianjun from the Genome Institute of Singapore; Dr Alan Chong, Director of the Asian Civilisations Museum and the Peranakan Museum; the architects from Grants Associates behind the Gardens by the Bay project; Mr Alvin Tan, Founder and Artistic Director of The Necessary Stage; Prof Anastasios Bezerianos from SINAPSE (Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology) at NUS; as well as comedian, Mr Hossan Leong and visual artist, Ms Eunice Lim.
iMagination Week is currently in its fifth edition at ESSEC’s main campus in Cergy, Paris. “Our objective is to culturally enrich the students by taking them out of their usual work habit and exposing them to experts from various disciplines like life sciences, future studies, art, technology, and sciences, among others. It is also to invite the students to envision the future and develop their creative minds by stimulating their imagination and team work capabilities.” explains Prof. Xavier Pavie, Director of the iMagination Center at ESSEC.
