The S&TDC cordially invites you to a visit of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) on Thursday, 23 November 2017, from 4:15PM – 6.30PM (see complete agenda and venue details below). The Singapore-ETH Centre was established in 2010 by ETH Zurich - the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF), as part of the NRF’s CREATE campus. In rapidly urbanising Asia, the Singapore-ETH Centre aims to provide practical solutions to some of the most pressing challenges on urban sustainability. The centre's first research programme - the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) combines science and design for a sustainable urban future with an Asian perspective. Launched in 2014, the Future Resilient Systems (FRS) programme seeks to develop a framework, methods and tools to make critical infrastructure systems more robust and resilient. Do join us for this unique opportunity to gain insights into the SEC’s cutting edge research projects in urban sustainability and resilience.
