The National Postdoctoral Management Committee Office has officially approved the establishment of a national-level postdoctoral research workstation branch at the NUS Guangzhou Research Translation and Innovation Institute (NUS GRTII). This achievement not only underscores the recognition and support for the Institute’s cutting-edge  research but also marks a significant advancement in its mission to nurture top-tier talent and translate research into real-world applications.

A postdoctoral research workstation branch is a specialized entity established within enterprises, research institutions, or designated regional organizations, authorized to recruit and train postdoctoral researchers. These branches serve as critical platforms for fostering cross-sector collaboration, bridging industry, academia, and research. They facilitate the recruitment and development of postdoctoral talent, promote knowledge transfer, drive technological innovation, and play a vital role in attracting top professionals, advancing key technologies, and accelerating the practical application of scientific advancements.

The approval to establish this national-level postdoctoral research workstation branch signals the beginning of a new chapter in the Institute’s efforts to cultivate scientific talent. With this opportunity, NUS GRTII will implement  a dual-driven strategy that integrates both project development and talent cultivation. This approach will seamlessly combine technological innovation with hands-on training, while strengthening a robust support system for researchers throughout their careers. Ultimately, NUS GRTII aims to empower young postdoctoral scholars to become leaders in their respective fields.

Innovation is boundless, and the pursuit of excellence is an ongoing journey. Moving forward, NUS GRTII will harness the full potential of its postdoctoral research workstation branch. By addressing the industrial needs of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Institute will cultivate an innovation ecosystem that integrates industry, academia, research, practical applications, and financial resources. Through this initiative, NUS GRTII aims to nurture adaptable research talent with a global perspective and a deep understanding of industry dynamics, contributing valuable expertise to the scientific and technological progress of the Greater Bay Area.
