RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

Research and innovation are in our DNA. We aspire to be a leading institution where impact-driven technologists come together from around the planet to re-invent the human experience.

In contrast to most universities, the focus of our research is not to just understand and expand the edges of human knowledge. It is to reimagine what’s possible. Our research is inventive, experimental, agile, and bold.

Our teaching and research are synergistic. We recognise the coupling of teaching and research in all that we do and engage all our academic staff in both. We ensure that the duality of our mission is reflected in all of our operations.

RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
TECH FOR GOOD

TECH FOR GOOD

The school strives to be a leading force for technological innovations that benefit humanity at large by incubating and driving a diverse range of “Tech for Good” initiatives, tackling some of the age-old challenges of mankind.

Integrated into the fabric of our education system, academic staff and students extensively contribute to these projects through an online open-source hub.
CURRICULUM INTEGRATION

CURRICULUM INTEGRATION

Students are encouraged to align their academic course requirements (projects and assignments) with the opportunities in these initiatives. The benefits include:

  • More meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.
  • Better and deeper learning, due to higher motivation and energy.
  • Opportunity to showcase their work to potential employers.

On the flip side, this enables progress and traction on some highly ambitious ideas that would be too risky to resource commercially – ideas with profound potential for impact.

IDEAS & PROJECTS

Students and academic staff can propose new ideas of their own, either as brand-new projects or as enhancements to established projects. Or they can work on existing ideas proposed by members of the public. The following are some of the ideas from the founders, which can be a starting point for the hub:
