Singapore A*Star Colleagues visit HiA

A*Star, Singapore, is one of the world's largest institutes on industrial research, and hosts the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC), the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd (ETPL), the A*STAR Graduate Academy (A*GA) and the Corporate Planning and Administration Division (CPAD). Their activities on, e.g., MPEG4, 3G and UWB/Wireless USB are world-leading, and many of A*Star's contributions are part of key standards.

Prof. Lye Kin Mun and Gavin Ang of the A*Star Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R) were visiting us to discuss research and possible future collaborations.

I tried to impress our visitors with the new HiA Campus Grimstad, ready 2009. However, compared to their new "Fusionopolis" with about 1 Miosqm in the first phase, I must admit we are at least one order of magnitude smaller. :-) check: Fusionoplois.com.
