    Future Issues And Technology (FIT)

    The Future Issues and Technology (FIT) research cluster supports the development of RSIS’ research agenda on emerging issues where science and technology intersect with national security. FIT works collaboratively with a wide range of RSIS stakeholders to explore and incubate topics that could become new research areas and builds up RSIS’ networks with science and technology experts and researchers working on ideas yet to enter the mainstream. FIT’s current focus areas include: (1) AI & Data, (2) Technology & Geopolitics, (3) Science & Technology’s Evolving Relationship with National Security, (4) Space, (5) Biotechnology, and (6) Quantum technologies.
