Prof. Robert Kamei, NUS Associate Provost and one of the founders of ALSET, stated that NTNU is the leading university of education in the world. This partnership is an important step for NUS, as they are working on becoming a regional learning and science research center. The representatives have signed the MOU at NUS and shared some thoughts. NTNU representatives come from Institute for Research Excellence in Learning Science and Program of Learning Sciences and the counterparts from NUS are from ALSET.
Head of Academic Affairs Chen Chao Chen and NUS Senior Vice Provost Bernard Tan attended the MOU signing ceremony. After discussion, the representatives found out several opportunities to cooperate.
