New platform for next generation of leaders
MBA News Barbara Barkhausen / 02-05-2012
Project Firefly is a new, open, merit-based platform for university students and recent graduates to enhance their profiles. The initiative aims to encourage university students to develop and refine their ideas on pressing societal problems and become thought leaders! Financial service provider Credit Suisse and 15 leading scholars from around the globe support the platform.
Credit Suisse is also sponsoring an essay competition to kick-off Project Firefly, with a first prize of 3,500 Swiss Francs and a dozen other cash prizes. Essays on each of the following questions can be submitted until 19th February 2012:
1. Is monetary policy alone enough to stimulate economic recovery?
2. Is local municipal government debt a serious threat to the Chinese state?
3. Is it inevitable that the Renminbi will become the next reserve currency?
4. How will the outcome of the 2012 US presidential election affect priorities in US foreign policy?
The winners of this essay competition will be announced at Credit Suisse’s Asian Investment Conference in Hong Kong in March 2012, to which the three best authors will be invited, all expenses paid.
