On March 5, Avenues Shenzhen will host a thought-provoking event featuring Yin Ye, CEO of BGI Group, as part of our OPEN.Ed Public Education Forum. In this engaging session, Yin Ye will share his insights on the beauty of life sciences, exploring topics such as human evolution and its implications for modern biology, the intersections of scientific discovery and societal advancement, and the opportunities shaping the future of life sciences. Through a direct conversation with Avenues students, he will offer a unique perspective on how scientific inquiry shapes our understanding of the world.
OPEN.Ed is a signature Avenues public education forum that brings together leading experts from around the world to engage in open, meaningful discussions on key educational and societal topics. First launched at Avenues New York, the forum debuted in Shenzhen in 2018 to a full house. Since then, Avenues Shenzhen has hosted 22 forums, featuring 25 distinguished speakers and reaching over 250,000 participants.
At OPEN.Ed, we not only explore the future of education but also foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, bridging the gap between education and industry.
This event also marks the official strategic partnership between Avenues and BGI Group, as part of the Avenues Industry Leaders Program. Through this initiative, students will have opportunities to visit cutting-edge research laboratories, engage with leading industry experts, and receive mentorship from top professionals. By seamlessly integrating foundational education with real-world industry practice, we empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an era of rapid technological change.
At Avenues, we believe that education knows no boundaries. To nurture confident, interdisciplinary, and globally responsible leaders, we are committed to forging meaningful partnerships that ensure sustainable and impactful innovation in education.
