About ICTS

The Institute of Computational and Theoretical Studies was established in 2011 to enhance inter-disciplinary research on computational and theoretical studies, and attract overseas research groups for interdisciplinary and collaborative research, so as to create a critical mass which can conduct research of higher impact. Its specific objectives are:

to enlarge our research platform with different research groups to facilitate interdisciplinary and collaborative group research;
to increase contacts with international/regional scholars toward collaborative research
to promote academic exchange activities building on existing research strengths
to enhance interest from potential donors with a research institute of larger scale
