Singapore: EU Centre in Singapore - Visiting Fellowships 2010-11

Overview

The European Union (EU) Centre in Singapore is a joint partnership of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Established in mid-2008 with financial support from the European Commission, its primary mission is to promote knowledge and understanding of the EU through support for EU-focused education, research and outreach activities.

The EU Centre in Singapore has strategic importance as Singapore is the major economic and education hub in Southeast Asia and hence well-placed to help generate greater awareness of the EU, its policies and their impact on the region.

The Centre has a Visiting Fellowship Programme aimed at encouraging more research exchange and collaboration between local scholars interested in EU-related research and their counterparts in European institutions or the 26 EU Centres and EU Centres of Excellence. We also hope that through this Programme, experts and scholars from the European Union can contribute to the teaching and research of EU institutions and policies in our two host universities.
