PSB Academy wins SBR National Business Awards for sustainable STEM Education

The STEM Conference sets a new standard in integrating sustainability with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education, shaping the future of global sustainability challenges.

PSB Academy, one of Singapore's leading private education institutions, has been recognised in the Education category at the SBR National Business Awards 2024 for its groundbreaking STEM Conference 2023 — Driving Sustainability in STEM.

Held on May 30th, 2023, in the academy’s impressive $10m STEM Wing of the City Campus, this event marked a significant leap towards integrating sustainability into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. In partnership with Channel NewsAsia as an Official Media Partner, the conference underscored PSB Academy's role as a visionary in higher education, fostering discussions that bridge the latest developments in STEM with sustainable practices.

The conference highlighted the pressing need for sustainability in STEM, encouraging a dialogue amongst experts to explore how these principles can be woven into the curriculums of higher-learning institutions and the future work landscape of STEM professionals. Distinguished speakers, including Dr Charles Ong, Dean of PSB Academy, Professor Zee Upton, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation) of the University of Newcastle, Australia and Mr Dalson Chung, Director of National Environment Agency and President of The Institution of Engineers Singapore, shared insights on fostering collaborations across various stakeholders to drive sustainability in STEM, aligning with Singapore's 2030 Green Plan and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

PSB Academy's strategic initiative to review its graduate attributes to emphasise sustainability reflects a commitment to nurturing a generation of socially responsible and innovative professionals capable of addressing global sustainability challenges. By leveraging industry partnerships, the academy has exposed its students to real-world sustainability issues, ensuring that theoretical knowledge translates into impactful solutions.

The successful collaboration with Channel NewsAsia not only amplified the conference's reach but also ensured that the pivotal discussions on sustainability in STEM extended beyond the immediate audience, contributing to a broader understanding and appreciation of sustainable practices within the STEM community and beyond.

The recognition of PSB Academy at the SBR National Business Awards 2024 celebrates the institution's innovative approach to education, particularly in promoting sustainability within the STEM fields. It underscores the academy's role in preparing future leaders who are equipped to tackle the sustainability challenges of tomorrow with knowledge, skill, and a deep sense of responsibility. As PSB Academy continues to evolve and expand its offerings, it remains a beacon of excellence in STEM education, driving positive change and fostering a sustainable future for all.

SBR National Business Awards

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
