ISCN Tomorrow?

Take action to facilitate active sharing and

partnerships…

* “Next Steps” for ISCN in Research

Use ISCN as a forum to promote Triple Helix R&D

partnerships

NTU Living Lab examples:

“NTU EcoCampus”

Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator Singapore

(“REIDS”)

Set up platform to promote Research Partnerships within ISCN

member universities

Sharing research knowledge, results

Encourage research partnerships among ISCN members
