Singapore plans to double research cash

Article Abstract:

The Singapore government's decision to double National Science and Technology Board's research funds to US$2.9 billion is expected to sustain high growth in both industrial and government research and development. The decision to allocate 30% of the total amount for long-term strategic research will benefit the country's universities. However, manpower for research is a problem for Singapore as most science and engineering graduates opt for more financially beneficial careers with local companies. Plans have been laid to attract local and foreign talent.

Article Abstract:

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the Science and Technology Agency are expected to request several hundred billion yen mostly for the purchase of supercomputers.
