The five-day programme includes a comprehensive curriculum covering leadership skills through various knowledge-sharing sessions, interviews and technical activities with prominent scholars and leaders from different parts of the globe.
Clare College, one of the oldest and most prestigious colleges at the University of Cambridge, provides an ideal venue for this programme. The historic surroundings and academic atmosphere of Clare College are expected to enhance the learning experience and provide participants with an immersive educational environment.
