What we do
Get to know usIn the era of Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is an urgent need for the University to prepare students for a rapidly changing future and gain a deep understanding of the impact of the fourth industrial revolution on people and society.
There is also a need for us to address the many critical challenges confronting Singapore and the world through research and innovation. We must redouble our efforts in nurturing students, pursuing knowledge and providing solutions especially in Singapore’s context to create value for society.
Our focus is on impact. We aim to realise real and positive change in the world by combining the Sciences, Technology, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to tackle complex problems. We bring together key actors, thinkers and leaders to shorten the curve and execute change for the benefit of humanity.
NISTH aims to answer important questions related to the world’s societal challenges, for NTU it bridges the scientific disciplines and has the goal to translate science for society. NISTH’s involvement revolves around three immediate themes: Responsible Innovation, Governance and leadership in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Emerging Urban Asia.
