So proud of our students! 💙

Congratulations to our SIM–UB students for their outstanding achievement in the 2026 ESRI Young Scholar Award competition. Their dedication, analytical skills, and passion for leveraging geospatial technology have truly set them apart on an international stage. The awards were presented by Ting Kar Liang, Industry Training Lead at Esri Singapore.

Our award recipients include Jolene K*m, whose project focused on ageing in Singapore; Dylon Tan, who explored sea level rise in the Philippines; and Vidhya Venktaramana, who worked on malaria in Africa.

This accomplishment reflects not only their hard work, but also the spirit of curiosity and impact that defines our community. We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to seeing how they continue to shape the future with your ideas and insights.
