NTU NISTH Fellows across disciplines team up to investigate the longer term economical, political, psychological, policy, environmental, medical, political and societal ramifications of COVID-19
So excited that we have launched the Societal Impact Fellows Network. NTU Faculty whose work has societal impact and who work on the intersections of Science, Technology, Medicine AND humanities, Arts, Education, Business and social science. Together we will develop new interdisciplinary research proposals and projects and engage with government and industry to address important societal issues.
