Director's message

China and Singapore share a deep and enduring friendship, guided by the principles of mutual trust, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation. In 2023, the NUS Guangzhou Research Translation and Innovation Institute (NUS GRTII) was established, serving as a vital bridge for scientific and educational collaboration between China and Singapore in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Leveraging the world-class academic resources of the NUS and the industrial strengths and innovative momentum of Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area, we are building a more influential international platform for academic research and technological innovation. Our goal is to nurture top talent with global vision, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a strong sense of social responsibility, while accelerating the transformation and application of technological achievements to better benefit society.

We warmly welcome talented individuals from around the world to join us. With open mind and a world-class platform, we sincerely invite distinguished scientists and promising young scholars at home and abroad to work alongside our leading research teams, explore the frontiers of science and technology, pursue their academic aspirations on the broad stage of China-Singapore collaboration, and jointly push the development of the NUS GRTII to a higher peak.

Looking ahead, we are committed to pushing boundaries in research translation, talent development, and innovation and entrepreneurship at a more resolute pace. We are confident that, with the joint efforts of our faculty and staff and the support from all walks of life, the NUS GRTII will deepen cross-sector collaboration, rise to global challenges, and embark on a new chapter of development. We will continue to contribute our insights and expertise to the innovation landscape of Guangzhou, the Greater Bay Area, and the world at large.
