ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY – YUNUS CENTER

Yunus Center AIT (YCA) is a collaboration between Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and the Asian Institute of Technology. The first such center established with an academic institution, YCA’s vision is to harness the power of social business to create a poverty-free world. YCA draws upon the knowledge infrastructure and the global research network of the Asian Institute of Technology and taps into the expertise of individuals and organizations representing over the countries.

YCA has grown exponentially in terms of network and influence during the last 4 years. Working within the framework of 3Es – Engage, Educate and Empower, YCA has successfully forged meaningful engagements and collaborations. It has solidified partnerships with Professor Yunus, Grameen Bangladesh, and the Yunus network around the world. YCA is represented in editorial boards, conference organizing committees, and consortiums. The YCA international internship program has received dozens of brilliant students who turned out to be effective ambassadors of the YCA brand.
