Cambridge Experience:

Open to young professionals, university students, and entrepreneurs, this program will focus on global challenges such as economic crisis, climate change, and health and well-being. World-class scientists will help participants familiarise themselves with physical, sociological and economic processes behind upcoming technologies.
