OUR APPROACH

Challenge-Based Learning (CBL)

Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) emphasises active learning, problem-solving, experimentation and community involvement. CBL encourages scholars from different disciplines and locations to collaborate and tackle intricate challenges.

This multi-disciplinary approach enriches our understanding of problems and helps us test our solutions in real-world settings.

The CBL methodology has been used by schools and blue-chip companies around the world to highlight global perspectives and develop evidence-based solutions.

Sharing Outcomes

A successful CBL approach relies on its ability to share its findings. At ESI, we are able to do this through our open-source publishing unit, ESI Press, and publishes peer-reviewed journals, books and monographs.

ESI Labs shares our discoveries through dynamic dialogues, compelling blog posts, impactful conference presentations, and enriching training programs. As an academic hub, the ESI ecosystem supports and nurtures the next generation of scholars.
