YSBC
Yunus Social Business Centre
about ysbc
A Yunus Social Business Centre (YSBC) is a hub for social business in universities around the world, following the principles of Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. YSBCs are set in collaboration through agreement between Yunus Centre and the university with the aim of spreading the concept and practice of social business among the university students and researchers. YSBCs conduct research, teaching, academic program and curriculum development, action research, knowledge-sharing events in social business like competitions, workshops and seminars among other things. YSBCs also find new and innovative means to expand the concept of social business among the students and researchers and even outside the university to the larger community and region.
