Research Institutes
- Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering (IESE)
The Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering (IESE) was created as a centre of research excellence in environmental technology (ET), under the Nanyang Technological University. With its corporatisation to a commercial research company, it is now structured as a leading-edge technology organisation that provides value-added research and commercialization services in ET. IESE's research capability is built on four technology platforms: Clean Energy, Marine & Resource Recovery, Water & Membrane, and Environmental Biotechnology.
- Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI)
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) reinforced its leadership position in environment and water technologies (EWT) when it officially launched the Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI). NEWRI is an ‘eco-system’ of research groups, centres and institutes which provides a contiguous value chain from education and research through translation, development and application. It unifies NTU’s EWT efforts and serves as a one-stop centre for industry and research partners to access NTU’s EWT capabilities.
- Institute for Media Innovation (IMI)
The Institute for Media Innovation is formed within the symbiosis of Media Systems Research and Media Content Research to create Intelligent Media. The research in the Institute will focus on the mega-trends in interactive and digital media research today - 'next generation multimedia search', advanced 'intelligence' in media, autonomous virtual actors, innovative digital cinema and television, enhanced media technology and novel media formats.
- Energy Research Initiatives at NTU (ERIAN)
The Energy Research Institute at NTU (ERIAN) will focus on the areas of sustainable energy, energy efficiency and infrastructure, and socio-economic aspects of energy research. Research activities and considerable expertise in these areas exists within NTU’s research centres and schools. ERIAN will provide a unique platform, where the various disciplines such as materials, power electronics and systems, biological, physical, social sciences, as well as humanities and business communities can interact to explore new solutions to a host of issues including energy generation, harnessing, storage, distribution, efficiency, as well as impact on climate change and global warming.
