Message from our Sponsor
As a longstanding partner and supporter of various developmental initiatives of The University of the West Indies, NGC is pleased to support the Research Expo of the St Augustine Campus.
NGC’s collaboration with the UWI began in 1994 with financial support to the Institute of Engineering at the St. Augustine campus. Since then NGC has sponsored several major activities and projects at UWI, including an annual grant to the BSc Petroleum Geoscience programme from 2001 to 2003 and $300,000 per year 2005 to 2007 to the Graduate and Research Fund.
In 2010, NGC was the main sponsor for the UWI’s Conference on the Economy and has also been a regular contributor to the University’s Development and Endowment Fund which has been a major source of scholarships for deserving students at both the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
NGC’s recent sponsorship of the UWI Research Awards/Research Forum/Research Expo and a Chair in Innovation and Entrepreneurship signals the beginning of a new era of increased collaboration with the University and establishes another pillar in the pursuit of academic excellence at UWI.
NGC’s support of these projects is in keeping with its unstinting commitment to national development. It is a commitment that spans several sectors of the society including sport, culture, small business development and, of course, education.
We are pleased to partner with The University of the West Indies in the pursuit of academic excellence in Trinidad and Tobago and throughout the Caribbean.
