Centre of Excellence in Leadership, Life Sciences, & Technology
The LESELI Centre of Excellence in Leadership, Life Sciences, and Technology (CoE-LLST) is a WEF initiative in collaboration with various institutions, organisations, and the corporate sector with the aim to provide educational opportunities to support a holistic and scientific understanding of our existence, universe, and entanglement with it all. This not only contributes to continued scientific knowledge development and success but also encourages consciousness awareness and a greater understanding of the creative process – with emphasis on leadership, Life Sciences, and Technology.
As such, the CeO-LLST contributes towards the success of today’s and tomorrow’s leaders, the Life Science industry, and related advances in Technology (especially Biotechnology). It is the first project of its kind aimed specifically at capacity building and a holistic scientific understanding – focusing not only on educational institutions, including students and educators but also on the corporate sector and the general public at large.
Programs, Courses, Workshops, Talks, and more …
Focusing on leadership, the life sciences, and technology, programs are designed for a wide range of students – from primary and secondary school learners to scientists in academia and industry, as well as the general public. Engaged participation is emphasized in all our lectures and practical experiences with many activities that are hands-on and/or laboratory-based.
The CoE-LLST is pleased to also offer various programs and courses for not only school learners but also for college and university students, graduate students, postdoctoral candidates, staff and faculty, as well as for scientific personnel employed in industry and the larger corporate sector.
Recognizing that many children often disassociate from science at a young age, we support the development and implementation of programs that include professional talks/lectures as well as practical demonstrations and hands-on experiences. Leadership development and career exploration are also an integral part of our programs and other offerings.
