USP has partnered with NUS Enterprise to offer the inaugural ‘Innovation Immersion Programme’ to Jakarta this December. Students will gain first-hand experience of the social, community and economic issues in Indonesia, as well as meet and network with innovative start-ups in and around Jakarta. The pilot run is a prelude to an NUS Overseas College (NOC) internship in Indonesia in the summer of 2018.

Since 2012, Forgotten Communities has brought students to Malaysia to engage in ethnographic research and contribute to mapping the community assets of rural New Villages. USP students will travel to two villages in the state of Penang this December and will stay in the villages for the course of the study.
