The debate was held as part of Discover Europe 2009, a one-day cultural and career exhibition organised by the Delegation of the European Commission to Singapore, the European Union Centre in Singapore and the European Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the EU Member States and NTU, to promote a better understanding of the European Union and the opportunities it offers in terms of cultural exchanges, education, research and careers
Head of the Delegation of the European Commission to Singapore, His Excellency Ambassador Holger Standertsköjld, and NTU Provost, Professor Bertil Andersson, officiated at the opening of Discover Europe, which was attended by about 800 students and faculty members.
'We are proud to host Discover Europe,' said Professor Andersson. 'The collaboration with the Delegation of the European Commission to Singapore complements NTU's drive to become a great global university. Discover Europe provides NTU with a platform to showcase some of our research collaboration with the EU Member States and corporations.
This will strengthen our position as a premier global campus for science and technology. The Discover Europe event is a great learning opportunity, not just for students, faculty and staff at NTU, but indeed, for the university community in Singapore as they get to engage EU diplomats and business leaders in discussions.'
Discover Europe also featured an exhibition by several cultural, educational and research centres of the EU Member States. Visitors had the chance to interact with these exhibitors to find out more about cultural and educational opportunities, language courses, and travel information in Europe.
A research pavilion showcased some of the state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge research projects that NTU has been working on in collaboration with leading European institutions.
