演講原文

My presentation is about driving innovation in globalization of research and development. For Singapore, we have flight zone and we have a lot of opportunities in doing business with countries, so the challenges for Singapore, the challenges for many countries including Australia, Hong KONG, first is the aging population, next is urban density dissolution, and of course economic restructuring is also very important. We have country knowledge resources; we also have human resources capital. So, the governments look at the universities in Singapore as being a key role to help solve these problems and bring us to a higher level. What we have done in NTU is basically how do we make sure that we help the government, in terms of attracting companies to what we need fast process and make sure they will continuously invest in Singapore. And we have a blend as a segment. So, this is basically how we implement the plan in NTU in boosting research impact and innovation. So, what we do is we take NTU to the world, a union world means basically this is a world for any university, so this implementation panned for NTU to cooperate with companies to drive the innovation. So, the first “W” stands for why the academic portfolio always organizing the talent pool and are of course of research strategy and we very much believe that the relationship, which involve government agency, university and company, and of course the outstanding departments who rely on the research organization in the three and this does not just link finally you need to deepening this bound-ship. This how we do. And widening economic portfolio is that many problems that I show you previously like aging populations and so on. It is not just a problem for segment faculty, it is also a problem for humanities social sciences. So, as a technological university we start to offer instruction on engineering science, but recently, during the last few years we have expanded this to social sciences, natural sciences and so on. This is very important because many of these problems are quite need this kind of resolution. Next organizing of talent pool is a mission that we do not invest in natural sciences resources, so we need resources like human capital, basically what we do is to recruit faculties and students from all over the world. Our undergraduate students population about 17％of foreign students. You can see even the recruitment of talents it both in seniors and full professors. Next our central strategy, we believe that very much in relationship between company and overseas institution and university. And before we start this, we always look at the so-called RIE, so the current one is about Singapore 19 million for next 5 years, and the previous is actually 16 million. Research founding and government have offered consultation companies and this is actually what we need to go into and we are well pleased in NTU for we have a well-established confront level which is the largest technological center. You may ask why we are so interested in that, part of this is because the economy development in actually beneficial for assembly engines in Singapore. Because we are doing high level manufacturing in Singapore they need to do it indeed, they have chosen us to be the basis to do it. I think many universities are very good at generating these kind of things, but not so good in innovation. Even in NTU, this is also one of the point need to be improved. And in the last few years we worked very hard to confirm it.

The chart shows that we are not just conducting the research, the professors, the students are busy generating good scientific papers. So we are looking for good companies as engineering on top of that. You can see from these maps that we are devoting manly companies in Asia, Europe and one in US. And in terms of significant collaboration, it covers conducting research and other important things. BMW decided that they want to work with and we are one of the seven in their chosen in the future. We also have French organization, recently we start a small program in there, so we are not just looking into things which are growing in our land, but also in overseas space.

Next deepening of institutional bound-ship is very important, while our university is not just research projects, we also filled with important students. So, one of the key things we have done is some of the universities are joining this program. And that encourages professors from both university of NTU and overseas to ensure that the students are well taken of. This is very important because it helps to attract best students. This is just like students spend two or three years in NTU, one or two years in other colleges. Over the last two years we have joined these programs. This is one way of creating talents in Singapore. These people from their own society which shows their countries’ features, the more citation can be found. Not only do we work with faculties in NTU, we also work across university.

One of our most successful projects is working with an European program. It has mobility and ensure the program has basic research and try the best to teach students. Currently we have 50 German students in NTU. This program has not joined PHD, but we still want to track the best students, and the key feature of this program is the industry component, we try to bring companies in. This the end of my presentation where I am going to show you we get to the world to ensure that we contribute to the world innovation process in Singapore. The last slight is about we are good at recruiting students all around the world. It is very important to contribute to economy, students who are in our projects can work in relating industry. With this we will continue to cultivate talents in the world, as well as companies invest in Singapore. Thank you.
