Research will be conducted in a team-based approach. Research in The Academy will be truly multi-disciplinary which will allow discoveries to be made at the interface of disciplines.
The Academy’s intention is to organize research into classes of problems that seeks to address a key research-theme or sector-goal.
Seven key research themes have been identified:
The admission process for the next intake is currently underway.
View the list of tentative PhD projects here. These topics are meant for exploration and guidance only; the final research topic will be finalised by the next stage of Admissions.
The selection of topics will be FORM A stage, the "Projects" section on EoI isn't mandatory.
