Under the agreement, the parties will conduct joint research activities with a focus on practical applications and innovation. As a first step, they have committed to establishing an energy centre in collaboration with the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N).

The agreement opens a new chapter in the lives of both institutions in the field of research and innovation, promoting scientific advancement not only for HUN-REN and Nanyang Technological University but also for both countries.

The MoU was signed on 22 October by Balázs Gulyás, President of HUN-REN, and Madhavi Srinivasan, Executive Director of ERI@N, representing Nanyang Technological University. The ceremony was attended by Csaba Lantos, Minister of Energy; Judit Pach, Hungarian Ambassador to Singapore; and Lam Khin Yong, Vice President (Industry) at NTU.
