Insights 4: Economics for Society
The fourth Insights from the Inside engagement session was delivered on 12 March 2025 by Professor Euston Quah, Albert Winsemius Chair Professor of Economics at NTU and Director of the Economic Growth Centre.
Attended by faculty from NUS, NTU, SUTD, and SUSS, Prof Quah shared his personal journey starting out as an academic in the 1980s and advised junior faculty to be curious, ask questions and take advantage of networking opportunities to make and sustain connections over time. Prof Quah also stressed that applied research is as important as theoretical work and noted the increased emphasis on applied work in the research funding landscape today.
