R-CPIS Alliance Overview
To maintain global leadership in science and technology, the U.S. needs to work closely with many of its allies to attract talent, spur innovations, and generate real impacts. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a leader in international collaborations, demonstrated by successful initiatives like the NSF-Swiss NSF Lead Agency Opportunity.
The US-Singapore Research Alliance focuses on the Resilience of Complex Cyber-Physical Infrastructure Systems (R-CPIS). This partnership is vital because: 1) it is undeniable that the future will bring more increasing frequencies and intensities of natural and man-made disasters such as cyber-attacks, wildfires, and space weather; and 2) the urgency for resilient cyber-physical infrastructure systems has escalated with the rapid integration of AI-driven technologies.
Alliance Rationale & Urgency
- Innovation-Driven Focus: Singapore is renowned for its focus on real-world impacts and technology adoption.
- Strategic Location in Asia: Collaboration leverages Singapore's critical geopolitical position.
- Technology Leverage: The U.S. benefits from technologies already developed and tested in real settings within Singapore.
- Talent Acquisition: Attracting international talent to spur innovations critical for global leadership.
- Increasing Disasters: Unavoidable future with greater frequency and intensity of natural disasters (hurricanes, wildfires).
- Escalating Threats: Rising risk from man-made disasters, including sophisticated cyber-attacks and space weather events.
- AI Integration: The need for resilient Cyber-Physical Infrastructure Systems (CPIS) is urgent, especially with the rapid integration of AI.
- Global Leadership: Collaboration is key to maintaining a global leadership role in science and technology.
