摘要

Prof Tan Chorh Chuan, President of the National University of Singapore (NUS), has been appointed the Chair of the Global University Leaders Forum (GULF) by the World Economic Forum (WEF) for a two-year term commencing 2014. He took over the GULF chair from Prof Richard Levin, President Emeritus of Yale University. Comprising the Presidents of 25 top universities in the world, GULF was established by the WEF in 2006 to foster collaboration between universities in areas of significance for global policy and to assist in shaping the WEF's agenda. It is also a platform for university leaders to engage in high-level dialogues on issues of higher education and research with other sectors, including the business community. The leaders represent a source of significant scholarship, careful leadership, and prudent advice on critical issues facing the world today.
