Who are we?

We are the University of Cambridge presence in Singapore called Cambridge CARES, sponsored by the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Singapore as part of its CREATE program CAM.CREATE. The research programme Cambridge Centre for Carbon Reduction in Chemical Technology (C4T) is a collaborative research activity between Cambridge University, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and National University of Singapore (NUS) within Cambridge CARES.

CARES is a busy research centre responsible for the support of the operational delivery of over 150 researchers and with current managed funds of S$60m (£32.5m). Research income from the Singapore National Research Foundation's CREATE programme, government-industry partnerships and industry, continues to grow. The pursuit of strong international research collaborations in Singapore demonstrates its alignment to the University of Cambridge mission to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. CARES maintains strong links with the Cambridge Colleges and the University as a whole, creating further opportunities for students and researchers in South East Asia and Cambridge to engage in multi-disciplinary international collaborations. The University of Cambridge had set out to seek out excellence and setting up enduring and mutually beneficial collaborations to establish strategic partnerships across the globe, of which CARES is both an example and has become an inextricable part of the University's make-up. Cambridge researchers are working alongside collaborators in Singapore universities and other research institutions on problems such as research in carbon reduction and the science of learning to underpin preparations for a better future, which is both relevant to Singapore and the world at large.
