Let's get lost
in a good idea.
Scholarly lectures for curious people — over drinks.
A concept visual for the lecture series
We’re bringing scholarly knowledge to social evenings.
Make Room for Wonder is a movement for deep curiosity. In an age of surface-level summaries, we seek to introduce profound research in the sciences, humanities and arts into social evenings filled with the joy of learning, and the thrill of discovery.
Right here in our city
Singapore is full of remarkable minds.
Listen to scholars and exemplars share ideas that changed how they see the world and questions in their field that still fascinate them. Follow an idea deeply, and find unexpected sparks of inspiration in your own worldview.
One expert. One rabbit hole.
