In response to a rapidly changing world driven by technology, increasing interconnectedness, and environmental forces, the Institute for Pedagogical Innovation, Research & Excellence (InsPIRE) was set up as part of the NTU 2025 Education Strategy to better prepare students for success in their lives and livelihoods - via development of attributes embodied by the 3C’s: Character, Competence and Cognitive Agility.

Thriving in today’s educational climate not only requires mastering content knowledge; students must also be proficient in critical thinking, communication, teamwork, creativity, and have an interdisciplinary approach to solving real-world challenges. To create an authentic learning environment to cultivate these skills requires constant evaluation, adaptation, and innovation of educational strategies, which is what this new institute aims to achieve.
