NUS Booth at Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2024 (19 – 21 June 2024)
We are thrilled to conclude our successful international showcase of NUS research and innovation at the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2024. It was an eventful experience over the 3-days where we get to meet with government agencies, academia, industry and public and share with them the state-of-the-art innovation and technologies of NUS.
Like previous years, NUS Environmental Research Institute (NERI) was again tasked to organize the NUS booth this year which highlighted some of NUS's pioneering research and innovations for accelerating the low-carbon transition. It was a pleasure to witness NUS researchers animatedly sharing their expertise and exchange of ideas with the visitors at the booth.
Highlights of the Showcase:
Booth Exhibits/Tours:
• Many overseas and local visitors came to our booth to understand our exhibits and interacted with our researchers. It was a good opportunity to see our researchers explaining their research, often in layman’s language to the visitors.
• Each exhibit setup clearly featured an informative infographic, interactive displays, and prototype setups, showcasing the innovative feature of the research.
• Small and large group discussions were animated, with researchers sharing and engaging in deep conversations.
• Booth tours for invited guests, including NUS President Prof. Tan Eng Chye, NUS Senior Management, Agilent Technologies and Ripple2wave colleagues.
Two Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) were signed:
• Between NERI and Agilent Technologies on 19 June 2024 marked a significant milestone towards enhancing chemical analytics of emerging contaminants for sustainable environmental solutions.
• Between NERI and Ripple2Wave Incubator (R2Wi) on 20 June 2024, opened more doors for the innovation and commercialization of water technology and sustainability.
Special Thanks to our distinguished guests:
• Prof. Tan Eng Chye, NUS President
