In Singapore, where the development of innovative solutions to national challenges is a priority, generous government grants have been awarded for research in critical fi elds such as advanced materials. This has greatly enhanced Singapore’s research output as well as attracted renowned global collaborators to work with Singapore’s institutions on innovations with societal impact. The strong government support has further boosted NTU’s research and educational achievements. From 2005 to 2010, the university’s external competitive research funding awards rose six times to about US$357M per annum.
