SEC Day 2024 Future Cities Exhibition

Designed as a prelude to our 15th anniversary celebrations, the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) Day 2024 event showcased the incredible interdisciplinary research and innovative solutions we have fostered – together with our collaborators and partners – over the years.

The Singapore-ETH Centre was established in 2010 by ETH Zurich - The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF), as part of the NRF’s external page CREATE campus. As ETH Zurich's only research centre outside of Switzerland, the centre has strengthened the research capacity of ETH Zurich to develop sustainable solutions to global challenges in Switzerland, Singapore and the surrounding regions.

The Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) Global is an international research collaboration between ETH Zurich and the Singapore universities NUS, NTU, and SUTD, supported by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF). At FCL Global, over 150 researchers across 13 modules bring together diverse expertise in Science, Design, Engineering, and Governance to develop transdisciplinary approaches tackling the global challenges of rapid urbanisation. Future Cities demonstrated how the FCL Global programme’s settlement systems approach enables the development of tools, scenarios, and strategies able to transcend the limitations of traditional disciplines.
