Singapore and France sign eight new agreements to further science and technology collaboration

DPM Heng Swee Keat and France’s Minister of Higher Education and Research Sylvie Retailleau witnessing the signing of the MOU between NUS' Professor Tan Eng Chye and Universite Paris Cite's Professor Edouard Kaminski.

More attention will be paid to such issues with an agreement signed on Monday by the Global Centre for Asian Women’s Health at National University of Singapore’s Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Universite Paris Cite’s Faculty of Health to collaborate on research and education programmes on women’s health concerns across their lifespan, with a focus on Asians.

The project was one of eight agreements signed at the third meeting of the France-Singapore Committee on Science and Innovation , held at the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise in NUS UTown. The joint committee was set up in 2019 to enhance research cooperation between France and Singapore in the areas of science and technology.

At the meeting, DPM Heng, who is also chairman of the NRF, and Ms Retaileau discussed the progress of current research and innovation partnerships in artificial intelligence, quantum technology and circular economy. Close to 100 senior academics, researchers and industry leaders were present. Potential collaboration in space, nuclear energy, health and maritime and port initiatives was also on the agenda.

Between 2018 and 2023, researchers working for the Singapore-CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy, or Scarce, developed novel ways to recycle e-waste, such as using orange and other citrus fruit peels to break down and recycle lithium-ion batteries. They have also found new ways of sorting and separating e-waste.
