The project, 'Reading the Riots on Twitter' (led by Professor Rob Procter) is a collaboration with The Guardian newspaper and Twitter.

April 18th 2012 we had the great opportunity to produce our 4th LIft Event in Korea. The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Presence Switzerland mandated us to curate a Lift event in Seoul, taking place prior to the 2012 Expo in Yeosu. Under the code name “Swiss-Korean Innovation Night” this event featured the traditional Lift ingredients: disruptive ideas, inspiring projects, carefully prepared speeches from pioneers of their fields and entertaining social events in a beautifully designed space. It's mission was to celebrate innovation and create and reinforce bridges of friendship between Swiss and Korean pioneers. We had a wonderful time, thank you all so much for coming and making it happen, 감사합니다 :)
