The objective of the Reimagine Research Initiative aims to provide seed funding for research in emerging areas post COVID-19, so as to reposition our researchers to capture opportunities in the post COVID-19 era.

Some examples are, but not limited to:

• Environment and sensing for better safety and health
• Outbreak preparedness and prediction
• Food security and supply chain resilience
• Human behaviours and societal impact, e.g. for policy making
