Singapore will host the Angewandte Colloquium in December. In particular, the focus will be on the nation‘s lead public sector R&amp;D agency: A*STAR.One of the leading national research organizations of Singapore is the “Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)”, with its mission to “advance science and develop innovative technology to further economic growth and improve lives”. As such, its over 6000 staff, whereof more than 4700 researchers, engineers, and technicians, place great emphasis on creating new knowledge and technologies and their translation into commercial application. Through open innovation, A*STAR seeks to integrate the relevant capabilities of its 17 research institutes and collaborate with the wider research community, other public sector agencies as well as industry towards meaningful and impactful outcomes.A*STAR’s R&amp;D activities span biomedical sciences, pharmaceuticals and biologics, medical technology, food, nutrition and consumer care, to physical sciences, chemicals, materials, energy, electronics, high performance computing, and infocomms. Synergies from this enormous breadth in multidisciplinary competences are drawn through horizontal central programmes focusing on areas such as epidemic preparedness, AI, urban and green technology, neuroscience, just to name a few.Above all, sustainability as well as establishing a circular economy are key drivers to support Singapore’s “Green Plan 2030”2) and to achieve net zero emissions by 20503).To deliver on its ambition of being a world-class scientific hub, A*STAR builds on a strong core of Singaporean research talent, complemented by a rich diversity of international researchers (with more than a third coming <link href="#nadc20244143046-fig-0001">from more than 60 countries). In addition, with its A*STAR Graduate Academy (A*GA),4) it provides ample opportunities and support for international scientific talent to experience the vibrant scientific environment through a comprehensive suite of undergraduate, PhD and post-doctoral scholarships, supporting top-class education both in Singapore and overseas.5)<figure xml:id="nadc20244143046-fig-0001"><figure><img alt="image" src="https://media.graphassets.com/asd7bkGvQq2ftg6Y5chW"><figcaption><label>Abb.1: </label>A*STAR Horizontal Technology Coordinating Offices: Integrate multi-disciplinary capabilities across RIs to address cross-cutting national priorities.</figcaption></figure></figure>As an example, The Singapore International Graduate Award (SINGA) provides the opportunity to sharpen research knowledge and learn from a diverse pool of researchers and industry experts. Through the collaborations between A*STAR and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU), and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), candidates can earn a PhD degree while conducting research at A*STAR and the universities.Germany and Singapore can build on excellent bilateral relations forged over many years. In the “Singapore – Germany Declaration”6), signed by both heads of state in November 2022, collaboration and talent exchanges, including initiatives such as the Singapore-Germany Academic-Industry (2+2) International Collaboration, as well as fostering entrepreneurship through supporting start-ups, are specifically endorsed. As such, GDCh and A*STAR, using their respective national networks, intend to intensify their cooperation to enhance mutually beneficial exchanges and interactions.Peter Nagler<h2 type="main">Save the date: Angewandte Symposium Singapore</h2>On 9th of December, 2024, GDCh and Wiley-VCH together with A*Star and the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC) are organizing an Angewandte Symposium in Singapore.
