Objective

The National Research Foundation (NRF) is calling for innovative ideas or proposed technological solutions from our Research Innovation & Enterprise (RIE) community, to enable Singapore and Singaporeans to adapt, and even thrive, in the "new COVID-19 normal".

There are no pre-defined themes or sectors identified for this Call-for-Ideas, but the problem statement being addressed should be clearly defined. The innovative ideas or proposed technological solutions could be drawn from any area of science and engineering, with multi-disciplinary approaches encouraged. This Call-for-Ideas seeks to crowdsource innovative ideas from the RIE community, from which a few of the most promising ideas will be selected for further development.
