HISTORY
• Following Delft Hydraulics advisory work on Marina Lake (2005), an idea developed (in May 2006) to establish joint research centre
• In June 2006, task force established to develop research agenda and request for funding
• In late December 2006, Environmental Water Industry Development Council (EWI) grants S$ 24 million to National University of Singapore (NUS) to establish Singapore Delft Water Alliance
• SDWA inaugurated on February 23, with official start of activities on April 1, 2007
• SDWA is 5 year programme, with key intention to evolve self-funded institute during the perion

REIMBURSEMENTS, MORE DETAILS
• Deltares contributes S$ 18.7 million (in kind) – S$ 1 million in value of software – S$ 17.7 million in terms of manpower
• S$ 17.7 million generates S$ 11.8 million of EWI funds – 1/3rd of S$ 11.8m = S$ 3.93m back to Deltares for additional research – 2/3rds of S$ 11.8 = S$ 7.87m to SDWA to fund local research (EOM+ OOE) – S$ 1 m software reimbursed in terms of maintenance fee (S$ 0.6 m)
• NUS S$ 14.8m generates S$ 9.87 million of EWI funds, entirely goes to SDWA (EOM+ OOE)
• PUB S$ 6m generates S$ 4 million of EWI funds, entirely goes to SDWA (EOM+ OOE)
![Page 13: Welcome to BRAF](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042512/557dddd4d8b42a83568b476e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
REAL GRANT BENEFICIARIES
• Deltares S$ 4.53 m (S$ 3.93 m + software maintenance) • SDWA S$ 19.47 m
In reality, most of EWI grant is de facto investment in establishment of research team, which should be able to continue operating on self-funded principles after SDWA research programme is over

LEGAL STRUCTURE
• EWI grant awarded to the National University of Singapore, making NUS solely responsible (including claw-back) and grant manager
• To regulate alliance NUS, PUB and Deltares developed – Master Research Project Agreement (MRPA) – Financial Rules Agreement
• MRPA provides backbone for conducting research projects, IP ownership, rights and obligations, unfulfilled and “default” situations
• Individual project agreements are executed under MRPA – light (3-4 pages) spelling out project-related specifics: duration, exchange rate,
KPIs • FRA outlines reimbursement principles and flow of money

BACKDROP FOR SDWA FUTURE
• Research Innovation and Enterprise Council (RIEC) announced S$ 16.1 billion investment in R&D for 2011-2015 period
• Emphasis on R&D conducted in close cooperation with the industry (70% of the funds)
• Multi-disciplinary projects will be given priority • Commercialization of technology, application and export of knowledge • Attracting talent, nationally and internationally • Specifically for Water Sector: growth of water sector to S$ 1.7 billion (0.6%
of GDP) and 11,000 jobs by 2015

Opportunities and Risks � Risks: ◦ The availability of people as key resource; ◦ The ability to retain talented people; ◦ The ability to sustain commitment of parent organisations; ◦ The ability to diversify range of services; ◦ The ability to diversify client base;
� Success: ◦ The push of water knowledge into industry and the community; ◦ Mobilizing capability to address large-scale interdisciplinary water problems; ◦ Penetration and integration in the Region; ◦ Success of the JV measured by Parent organisations; ◦ Success measured by key stakeholders and clients.

EVOLVING RESEARCH AGENDA • Societal questions are
interdisciplinary • SDWA v2.0 is means for
remaining relevant while reaching out to public and private contract research market
• Real-world problems feed into fundamental research agenda
• Stakeholders appreciate such convenient access to applied research and have endorsed the idea
• Reaching out into the region
