Press Releases

Dear Friends;

It is hard to believe we are already in 2010 – and high time for me to provide our first annual report. 2009 has been an extraordinarily successful year for the Information + Innovation Policy Research Centre. We have grown by leaps and bounds.

A year ago we barely had one fellow. Today our roster of present and past doctoral and post-doctoral fellows include Tracy, Quihong, Kaitlyn, and Dima. In addition to their own research projects, they have joined important Centre projects on virtual worlds, search engines, domain names, and citation networks. Because of their creativity, dedication and energy we have an excellent set of papers in the pipeline that will employ cutting edge research to inform pressing policy questions of the global information economy. In less than a week, Zeenath will join us, and we continue to attract interest from very distinguished fellowship applicants around the world. more >>

The Information + Innovation Policy Research Centre, is the newest research centre at the LKY School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.

Issues of interest include but are not limited to information flow, governance, transparency, legitimacy, and online public deliberation. The i+i aims to be the premier research centre embarking on cutting-edge research, pushing the boundaries and frontiers of both theoretical development and research methodology. more >>
