The NUS Medicine International Council (NIC) is an exclusive network of international leaders, academics and experts who will not only address the greatest challenges of our time—in healthcare, public health policy, population studies and ground-breaking research in cancer, diabetes and other chronic diseases—but will also identify promising opportunities and innovations across multi-disciplinary areas including information technology, engineering, computing, social sciences and medicine. NIC members are recognised for their service and scope of generosity to medical research and development and are actively engaged as ambassadors in the wider world. This distinguished group of men and women includes leaders in government, business, finance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, law and other fields from around the world. The invitation-only group of 100 members attend an exclusive pair of annual conferences, one in Singapore and the other abroad, in addition to numerous other intimate activities sponsored by the Council. These gatherings provide opportunities for members to connect in a meaningful way to the University’s aspirations and the breadth of ideas and people that define NUS today. NIC events are designed to entertain and engage and present the latest innovations in medical science, healthcare, health policy and other areas of interest. NIC members are invited to provide advice on strategic priorities, serve as ambassadors to raise the visibility of the School’s achievements and set the pace of philanthropic support.
