Scientific collaboration can help to solve Asia’s flashpoints

Dr Kostantinos Glinos, Visiting EU Fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS, and Mr James Crabtree, Senior Fellow at the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the School, noted that while scientific research is increasingly global, its potential is still not consistently exploited to address major challenges such as climate change or health epidemics, especially in Asia. They opined that if progress could be made on these fronts, stronger scientific networks could help to make progress on many Asian flashpoints.
