What is a Living Lab?

It is a space used to carry out research in real time by fostering an innovative eco-system of collaborators. As a University, our inherent duty to amplify the voices of our community through research, education, and engagement will be further enhanced in the space of a living lab.

Research

Sunway Centre for Environmental Social Governance (ESG)

Sunway Centre for Environmental Social Governance (ESG), SC ESG's primary objective is to transform cutting-edge academic research into tangible solutions that not only benefit society and government but also advance sustainable practices, with a special emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance factors.

Further, SC ESG aims to foster closer industry-academic collaboration by providing a vibrant platform where industry partners can engage with our researchers and students. This synergistic relationship serves a dual purpose - it enhances student integration and employability while ensuring that our research is directly relevant and applicable to industry challenges.

SC ESG complements Sunway Business School's mission by promoting ESG research, engagement, and education. We actively facilitate academic involvement in ESG-related issues through a range of initiatives such as workshops, training programs, consultations, and cutting-edge research.
