Join colleagues from across the University of Sydney for the Singapore Research Innovation Symposium, a half-day, in-person event focused on strengthening research engagement with one of the University’s most strategically important partners.

Singapore is a key hub for international research collaboration, with strong cross-disciplinary engagement and long-standing institutional partnerships. This symposium brings together academics, researchers and professional staff who are currently working in Singapore or with Singapore-based partners, or who are interested in building new connections.

The event provides a forum to showcase existing research activity, share insights, and foster new interdisciplinary and externally funded collaborations. 

The Singapore Research Innovation Symposium is jointly hosted by the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre and the Office of Global Research and Engagement.
