The late S R Nathan, Singapore’s sixth and longest serving President, dedicated his life to public service and the advancement of Singapore. To recognise Mr Nathan’s unique contributions, the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) began the process of establishing the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore in late 2012, to advance research on public policy and governance issues.
With generous support from individual and corporate donors, IPS raised around S$5.9 million (including matching grants from the government) in 2013 to endow the Fellowship.

Scope and Field of Study
S R Nathan Fellows serve concurrently as Visiting Scholar at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of the National University of Singapore (NUS). They advance the core mission of IPS by contributing to the research and analysis of public policy, building bridges between key thought leaders, and communicating the Institute’s work to a wider audience. Research topics pursued by S R Nathan Fellows are relevant to the Institute’s work in the following areas:
-
Politics and Governance
-
Economy and Business
-
Demography and Family
-
Society and Identity
-
Arts, Culture and Media
S R Nathan Fellows present their research findings and policy ideas to the public by delivering three to six lectures during the course of the academic year. The IPS-Nathan Lectures are delivered at NUS. They serve to enrich the vibrant intellectual and cultural life on campus, and seek to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest.
The IPS-Nathan Lectures of each series are collected and published under the auspices of IPS.
