Bộ trưởng Bộ Giáo dục Singapore: Ba phương pháp các trường đại học hỗ trợ mục tiêu đổi mới

To engender greater innovation on the connectivity front, universities should seek to be a trusted platform for talent from all over the world to work together, learn from each other and create new ideas, said Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing at the inaugural session of the NUS Distinguished Speaker Series on 26 September.

As the brain trust of societies, universities like NUS play an important part in supporting Singapore’s innovation drive – and it can do so by contributing its efforts in the three key pillars of connectivity, technology, and policy, said Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing at the inaugural session of the NUS Distinguished Speaker Series on 26 September.

To engender greater innovation on the connectivity front, universities should seek to be a trusted platform for talent from all over the world to work together, learn from each other and create new ideas. He noted that there was tremendous opportunity at this time in history amid an increasingly fragmented world where trust becomes a premium.

This, therefore, presents Singapore with a strong foundation as the nation is seen as an honest broker that can provide a neutral platform for people of different persuasions to come together and interact. “How do we connect with people all around the world? That will define our competitive advantage. How we build talent networks will require a lot of innovations on our part,” said the Minister, who was addressing questions during a Q&A session moderated by NUS Professor Tulika Mitra, Provost's Chair Professor of Computer Science and Vice Provost of Academic Affairs.

Mr Chan had earlier delivered a speech titled “Shaping the Future of Innovation” to kick off the series, which brings together compelling speakers to share their unique perspectives on pressing issues of the future that affect Singapore, the region and the world under the overarching theme “Shaping the Future”.
