      <item><title><![CDATA[Collaborating for Impact: Trust, Ambition, and Accountability]]></title><description><![CDATA[ Event Description: The Lab is part of a series of global convenings for the mid-term review of the 
WBG's Scorecard, which aims to strengthen how development results are measured, 
communicated, and used to support better decision-making and learning.

As development challenges become increasingly interconnected, delivering meaningful 
outcomes depends on effective collaboration across governments, multilateral 
development banks, the private sector, academia, and civil society. The 
Collaboration Lab will examine how stronger trust between institutions, greater 
ambition to scale solutions, and enhanced transparency and accountability can help 
partners work together more effectively to achieve development outcomes.

The program will bring together senior leaders, academics and practitioners from 
across sectors for a day of dialogue, case studies, interactive discussions, and 
breakout sessions focused on practical approaches to collaboration, accountability, 
and results. Together, we will explore how evidence, transparency, and partnerships 
can help accelerate development progress and improve our collective ability to

Future, offers a fresh framework for understanding China, the United States, and 
their intensifying rivalry. Drawing on his experiences living in China from 2017 to 
2023, Wang contrasts China as an engineering state with America as a lawyerly 
society, and examines how these two systems shape each countrys ambitions and 
vulnerabilities.

China approaches challenges through large-scale construction, technological 
development, and state-led intervention, while the United States relies more heavily 
on laws, regulations, and legal processes. Wang explores both the strengths and 
shortcomings of these contrasting systemsfrom Chinas remarkable infrastructure and 
industrial development to the risks of applying an engineering mindset to society, 
and from Americas institutional safeguards to the gridlock that can hinder its 
ability to build and innovate. The book and talk offer a thought-provoking lens for 
understanding U.S.China competition and how the choices of both powers may shape 
their future and the world.<br/>  Venue: Multi-Purpose Hall, NUS Bukit Timah Campus  <br/>  Start Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:15:00 +0800 ]]></description><venue>Multi-Purpose Hall, NUS Bukit Timah Campus</venue><eventdate>Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:15:00 +0800</eventdate><pubDate>Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:15:00 +0800</pubDate><link>https://myaces.nus.edu.sg/CoE/CoEEvents?eventID=108565</link><guid isPermaLink='false'>nus:coe:108565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CPR + AED Familiarisation Programme]]></title><description><![CDATA[ Event Description: The Main objective of this CPR + AED Familiarization Programme is to
