Prof and Mrs Noyori visited A*STAR and called on A*STAR Chairman Lim en-route to Malaysia.  It was Prof Noyori’s first visit to Fusionopolis.  Chairman took the opportunity to update Prof Noyori on STEP2015 and future infrastructure development plans, and exchange views of several S&T policy issues.  Both sides noted the good relationship established through the numerous joint symposium and seminars facilitated by the RIKEN Singapore Representative Office and were optimistic on the A*STAR-RIKEN Partnership going forward.
