On 9 March 2018, RP signed an MOU with the FAS. This
three-year partnership agreement facilitates the sharing
of best practices between both parties and provides an
opportunity to educate and engage the youth on sport
science.
The RP-FAS Centre of Excellence (COE) for Football
Science was also declared open on the same day
by Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs
and Ministry of Health, and Member of Parliament for
Sembawang GRC Mr Amrin Amin.
Under the MOU, the joint COE will be based in the
Sports Engineering Lab at the Republic Polytechnic
Industry Centre. The COE also acts as a connecting
node for students to the sports industry through activities
and authentic learning spaces. This is the first such
collaboration between the FAS and a polytechnic to
improve the sport, leveraging science, technology and
education.
