NTU Africa and Middle East Network
Our network brings together NTU staff, Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) and Postgraduate students working in the Africa and Middle East regions.

We believe that our efforts to promote and drive international research collaboration in Africa and the Middle East will have a significant impact on the academic community. We are committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, creativity, and innovation that will help us achieve our goals and make a lasting contribution to NTU international research.
NTU's University, reimagined strategy emphasizes the importance of Connecting Globally.
