The Center for Enterprise and Society (CES) at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) has received a new international grant to promote diversity and tolerance among youth.
This is the centre’s eighth grant, and to win it, it prevailed over 140 international institutions, said a press release issued on Tuesday.
This grant supports CES in promoting diversity, tolerance, and pluralism, especially among Bangladeshi university students, through both offline campaigns and online educational initiatives.
CES is a leading think tank in Bangladesh based out of ULAB.
It has reached several significant achievements, such as the publication of 17 Scopus-indexed research papers and the formation of partnerships with renowned institutions like Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia University.
Additionally, it has engaged in collaborations with diversity expert Professor Tariq Modood from the University of Bristol, worked closely with Chatham House to host influential international symposia, and successfully reached an audience of over 5,000 students through its custom-built EdTech courses.
CES also organized diversity fellowships and faculty ambassadorship programs with five leading Bangladeshi universities, including Dhaka University, NSU, AIUB, IUB, and Brac University.
It collaborated with India's Jawaharlal Nehru University and developed a productive partnership with the National University of Singapore.
CES is managed by Sajid Amit, associate professor, at ULAB.
