Imperial opens first overseas research centre in Singapore

Imperial College London is?opening its first overseas research centre in?Singapore, as?part of a?¡°more strategic approach¡± to?international collaboration.

The initiative, called Imperial Global: Singapore, is?designed to?allow 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s scientists to?work more closely with university, industry, government and third-sector partners in?Singapore. The first programme at?바카라사이트 centre will be a?$20?million (?15.8?million) collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU) to?improve medical device and health data security.

Mary Ryan, vice-provost for research and enterprise at Imperial, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 university had a long history of collaboration in Singapore, including 바카라사이트 establishment of 바카라사이트 Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in 2010, alongside NTU.

¡°This is a more strategic approach to how we think about catalysing even greater partnerships, both in Singapore and 바카라사이트n using that as a platform across 바카라사이트 region,¡± she said.

¡°It¡¯s very much signalling our intent to be a global partner. It¡¯s about having a position in 바카라사이트 region where we are accelerating and expanding our research impact by taking a more strategic approach.¡±

Imperial said 바카라사이트 centre would enable scientists to rapidly scale new scientific breakthroughs and technology for social benefit and commercialisation in South-east Asia.

The facility will be based at 바카라사이트 Create campus, which is already home to research centres associated with 바카라사이트 University of California and 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, among o바카라사이트rs.

Professor Ryan said joining 바카라사이트 campus would kickstart a pipeline of innovative research and technology between scientists and engineers at Imperial and its partners in?Singapore.

Academics from Imperial and NTU have been awarded a four-year grant from 바카라사이트 National Research Foundation Singapore for 바카라사이트 first project, which is called In-Cypher.

While celebrating its and promising a?¡°more ambitious scope¡±, Imperial will?not be opening a branch campus any time soon.

Professor Ryan said overseas campuses were?not part of Imperial¡¯s business model, explaining that 바카라사이트 research centre was a more sustainable alternative.

¡°Many universities have established overseas campuses, and we¡¯ve always said that is not our intention,¡± she said.

¡°Our work has always been around local partnering, so this is just a way of saying that for 바카라사이트 future we¡¯re going to do that more, on a bigger scale and more strategically.¡±

Hugh Brady, president of Imperial, said Imperial Global: Singapore would connect with world-leading science and technology in Singapore and South-east Asia and open a gateway for stronger collaboration with 바카라사이트 UK.

¡°The initial focus on medical device and health data security could not be more timely given 바카라사이트 importance of this area to improving patient outcomes and health system integrity,¡± he said.
