RUN, comprising all six autonomous universities in Singapore and five leading public universities in Indonesia, serves as a pivotal platform for advancing educational exchanges and collaborative research initiatives aligned with both nations’ growth and innovation goals. This year’s meeting highlighted SMU’s commitment to fostering impactful partnerships that address complex regional challenges and prepare the next generation of skilled professionals.

These initiatives facilitate student internships and offer invaluable learning experiences, equipping students with the workforce skills needed for an increasingly globalised world.
