We are pleased to introduce a new addition to our collection:
Troika! The Remarkable Ascent of a Great Global University: Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 2003–2017
by Bertil Andersson, Haresh Shah, Su Guaning, and Tony Mayer

How did Nanyang Technological University (NTU), a young university in Singapore, rise to become one of the world’s top research universities in just 14 years?

Troika! offers a behind-the-scenes look into this extraordinary transformation, driven by bold reforms, visionary leadership, cross-disciplinary restructuring, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. It provides practical insights into institutional strategy, research development, and global ambition—making it especially relevant to VinUniversity’s own journey.

VinUniversity, as a fast-rising institution with a global vision, shares many of the aspirations captured in Troika!:

As VinUni continues its ascent toward world-class status, Troika! serves not only as a source of inspiration, but also as a strategic reference for educators, administrators, and students seeking to understand what it takes to build a great global university.

We invite all members of the VinUni community to explore this compelling read and reflect on how we can collectively contribute to VinUniversity’s future of excellence.
