U@live (pronounced "U-alive) is a special monthly forum that will showcase the many outstanding members of the NUS community -- students, faculty and alumni -- who have been indefatigable in championing causes that will make this a better world. Some are well known names while others are unsung heroes -- all individuals driven by boundless passion, energy and courage. The focus is on the "why" and "what" of the cause, and not the profile of the speaker. This is also the spirit that underscores the tagline:Passion. Action. Inspiration.
The idea of the platform is to inspire the young of today -- students and beyond -- to believe in cause passionately and be committed to that belief. Hence the "U" in U@live stands for both the individual and the University that encourages him and were both the individual and the university flourish and come 'alive' with such ideas.
With its strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, the School welcomes eminent speakers who share their expertise and insights on key policy issues with the community. These public lectures, conferences and seminars are opportunities for students and faculty to engage the speakers in lively debates and critical discussions.
The NUS Global Asia Institute aims to take the lead in research and scholarship directed at topics pivotal to Asia's future. Driven by the mission to provide in-depth insights to shape the nature of 21st Century Asia, the NUS Global Asia Institute will take a holistic approach to the fundamental issues confronting Asia and the world. By focusing on integrative studies, the work of the Institute will go beyond public policies and also deal with matters of technological importance. The Institute will complement existing NUS programmes that already have a significant Asian component.
The NUS Global Asia Institute, an initiative of NUS President Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, will bring together existing expertise from NUS and other universities, particularly those with expertise in India and China, in its quest for solutions that will solve the critical issues within Asia.
