📚 Big news for Indo-Danish #academiccooperation! Last week during the visit of the Danish Minister for Higher Education and Science Christina Egelund to New Delhi, the Novo Nordisk Foundation announced a grant to the Danish Academy of the Technical Sciences or Akademiet for de Tekniske Videnskaber (ATV) for the continuation of the “ECHO community of Practice” program over a three-year period starting 1 March 2024. The grant of up to DKK 12.000.000 will enable continued involvement of the Danish universities in the echo network and their partnering with Indian scientists, industry, and organisations across a field of #sustainabilitychallenges. In addition, it will complement support from several Indian organisations and foundations in ensuring that the network scales operations for the period 2024-2026. This next phase will expand current activities and initiate 11 PhD projects based in India co-supervised by Danish universities to execute research projects and to develop solutions to be implemented through the network. ATV is hosting the international hub of the project and works in close collaboration with the not-for-profit innovation and entrepreneurship platform Social Alpha hosting the network in India. The echo network was initiated by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of Indiaand conceptualized together with several founding partners in 2019 including BMGF, #HindustanUnilever and India Climate Collaborative – a Tata Trusts initiative. By now, more than 2200 individuals and organisations have been involved in pilot activities to further develop the concepts and build the network and organisation hosted by Social Alpha and ATV.   India is an ideal place to build and test the ECHO network model due to many factors including demography, economy, relevant sustainability issues to address, a well-functioning political system and impressive science capabilities. If successful, the later phases of the project will scale and transfer the solutions to other #emergingeconomies.

What this means is highlighting your common or shared purpose with the program. This will give that “connection” or as they say, “spark”. 3. With YSEALI, I think more than one’s accomplishments, they want to see/read impacts. Explain clearly how the program will help you “create” impact. Or demonstrate how youve made impacts with your past engagements 4. Share the future you are creating, your aspirations. Be specific about what you hope to gain and contribute. 5.

Did you know that students in CAHME Accredited Programs Excel in Case Competitions?   June marks the end of the academic year and the completion of the major healthcare management case competitions. These competitions allow teams of students to analyze real-world challenges and present their recommendations to a panel of expert judges. They are also a valuable resource for networking with industry professionals and young careerists and building essential leadership and presentation skills.   Not surprisingly, the high quality of education provided in CAHME Accredited programs means that students in CAHME Accredited Programs excel in case competitions with approximately 89% of the top slots going to CAHME Accredited programs in the past 4 years (which includes events at programs not hosted by CAHME-Accredited programs). CAHME created a web page for students that provides: - Details about case competitions, including the benefits of participating. - Case competition tips and techniques courtesy of CAHME site visitor Dr. Warren S., DSc, of the Kinetix Group. - A four-year listing of how well students from CAHME-Accredited programs perform in leading case competitions.

I am honoured and thrilled to be officially welcomed to the Global Association of Applied Behavioural Scientists (GAABS). And this could not have come at a better time-especially whilst I am working on numerous projects in various sectors with behavioural intervetions. As a practitioner I can vouch that GAABS is be the stand alone platform to share best practises and experiences about applied behavioural science and interventions that help Nudge humans towards a better, enabled and sustainable decision making society. I feel so priveleged to be a GAAB'ian. Thank you Team GAABS! The Global Association of Applied Behavioural Scientists (GAABS) is the world’s first independent organisation representing the interests of applied behavioural scientists, primarily working in the private sector. GAABS has a clear scientific, social and non-commercial purpose. This is an exciting time for applied behavioural science. As a unified field of practitioners from across the globe, we all share a collective vision of conducting our work to the highest professional and ethical standards. This will become, I believe, the lasting legacy of our science and practice: changing behaviour for good. "Given the increased interest in applied behavioural science, the formation of a society representing the skills, conduct and practices of professional members is a sensible move at the current time.” — Daniel Kahneman, 1934-2024.
