The European Union has developed international scientific cooperation (INCO) over the last 25 years to address the needs and opportunities of an interconnected world, and to contribute to peace and prosperity for European citizens. Europe wants to play a leading role in the world’s research arena and help build a safe future.

The European Science Foundation (ESF) has announced this year’s Latsis Prize, of a value of 100 000 Swiss Francs. The 2012 Prize will go to a scientist or research group in recognition of outstanding and innovative contributions in Mathematics. Nominations are encouraged from all parts of mathematics, both pure and applied.

Europe is a world player in science and technology, with the European Union (EU) investing S$12 billion in R&D this year. This opens up manifold opportunities for Singaporean researchers and scientists to partner with their European counterparts and achieve excellence together.
