ETH Zurich and three Singapore universities to develop solutions to help cities grow sustainably
A new five-year research collaboration between ETH Zurich and three Singapore universities will see scientists from both countries come together to develop solutions to help cities and their surrounding regions achieve sustainable growth. The collaborative venture launched on 1 December 2020.
According to a United Nations report, two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities by 2050.

Leading environmental and research agencies in the UK and in Singapore have announced funding support for four innovative international research collaborations.
The project will investigate how to reduce the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems in south-east Asia.
