I found this really interesting article about MIT and the National Research Foundation of Singapore - they're opening a brand new major research center that is the first of its kind. The article, written by By Michael Kanellos - Staff Writer, CNET News.com, says that the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Centerwill be MIT's first such research center of its kind outside ofCambridge, Mass.
Mr. Kanellos goes on to say "The center will let MIT faculty and graduate students conduct researchwith their counterparts in Singaporean universities and companies.Scientists at the center will primarily concentrate on biomedicalscience, water and environmental technology, and digital media.Cooperation between MIT and Singapore first began in 1998.
MIT won't be the lone export in the island nation. Duke University ishelping Singapore set up a medical school, while several companies andacademics are participating in Biopolis, a multimillion-dollar program to establish the nation as a biotech hub." To find out more, click here:
There are actually many really good graduate and doctoral programs available overseas, including in Europe and Asia. If you're looking for a program, you might want to consider looking in "American" Campuses overseas!
