The new Presidential Young Professorship (PYP) scheme offering million-dollar research funds is designed to enable the university to compete for good academic talent, not to chase rankings, said the National University of Singapore (NUS).
NUS senior deputy president and provost Ho Teck Hua told The Sunday Times the new scheme is designed in view of the international landscape, to ensure that NUS remains competitive in global talent recruitment. "The intent is to close the gap for research grants, to enable top talents to thrive in NUS and Singapore."
