Clarivate Nobel Laureate Symposium 2021
Strategy to Identify, Attract and Develop Talent: Opportunity to Dissect the Singapore Experience.
Top research talents are paramount for countries to fully realize R&D’s impact, to innovation and drive economic and social impact. By leveraging on your best research talents, countries are better able to maximize research investments with a tangible socioeconomic impact.
To support efforts to identify and establish global benchmark for research excellence, Clarivate has since 2014, identified annually a small fraction of the researcher population that contributes enormously to extending the frontiers of knowledge and society innovation. Named as Highly Cited Researchers, these are individuals who commanded a disproportionate influence in their respective fields by publishing multiple top 1% Highly Cited Papers. In a parallel exercise since 2002, Clarivate has identified annually global researchers that are of “Nobel Class”. Dubbed as Citation Laureates, to date 59 of them went on to win the Nobel prize, 29 of them within 2 years of being listed.
You are invited to join our webinar with representatives from Agency of Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) to discuss the journey of how Singapore attract and nurture high impact research talent, landing recognitions such as Highly Cited Researcher and Citation Laureate. Now with her very own Citation Laureates, can Singapore earn her place among the few countries winning the renowned Nobel Prize?
