Lund University continues to develop our partnership with the National University of Singapore (NUS), strengthening long-term collaboration in research, education, and global engagement.
Building on a long-standing academic partnership, Lund University and the National University of Singapore (NUS) are deepening their collaboration through a set of targeted initiatives designed to support early-stage research cooperation and strengthen academic exchange. A central component is a joint seed funding call that enables researchers at both universities to initiate new collaborative projects and develop innovative research ideas together.
The seed funding focuses on four strategically important research areas: Advanced materials, AI in medicine, Biotechnology, and Computational humanities and social sciences. These areas reflect complementary research strengths at Lund University and NUS, as well as a shared ambition to advance knowledge and contribute solutions to complex global challenge. In addition to seed funding, the collaboration includes opportunities for mobility for students and staff, supporting knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the development of durable networks between Sweden and Singapore.
“Strategic partnerships like the one with NUS allow us to connect complementary research strengths and create opportunities for researchers to address complex global challenges together. Seed funding and mobility are key enablers in turning shared ambitions into concrete and lasting collaboration,” says Kristina Eneroth, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Strategy and Global Affairs at Lund University.
