NTU-JST Workshop on Nanomaterials and Devices

25–26 June 2026

NTU-JST Workshop invites researchers and students from Japan to NTU Singapore to share cutting-edge research and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Covering a broad range of topics, from materials science and chemistry to physics and CMOS/device technologies, the workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and strengthen international research networks. We also welcome students from Japan, with the goal of building long-term pathways toward NTU graduate programs and exchange opportunities, and supporting the global development of the next generation of researchers.

JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) is a national research and development Agency that plays a central role in the Science, Technology and Innovation Basic Plan and aims to promote science and technology.
