Li An Phoa, a university lecturer of Business Administration at the Rotterdam School of Management, has won the VIVA400 Award for the greatest world-changer.<\/p>\n

According to the judges<\/a>, Phoa \u2018connects people, innovates and is a true visionary\u2019. The women\u2019s magazine said Phoa is changing a \u2018difficult field\u2019, i.e. the education system. \u2018What you are doing with your Spring College is \u2013 quite literally \u2013 a refreshing form of reform. You hold a university degree, but at the same time, you have both feet on the clay ground. We, the judges, feel that you are making the world a better place in this way.\u2019<\/p>\n

Among other subjects, the 34-year-old RSM lecturer teaches a subject called Companies in Ecologies, which involves her taking students outside. She also founded a \u2018nomadic\u2019 school, Spring College<\/a>.<\/p>\n
