sains@usm

sains@usm stands for Universiti Sains Malaysia's "Science and Arts Innovation Space", a planned space aimed at providing a platform for a fusion of innovative ideas from multiple and across disciplines. The unique feature of sains@usm is the underlying acceptance that art is an integral part of science and vice versa. Arts are thus recognized to contribute significantly to society in tandem with science and technology.

The development of sains@usm will help Universiti Sains Malaysia to articulate its vision to create a community of innovators, inventors, researchers and entrepreneurs and generally, the people that can help make things happen. Nestled in the verdant landscape of Bukit Jambul,Pulau Pinang, sains@usm's site covers an area of 12.5-hectare. Once completed, it can offer up to 1.77 million square feet of built-up area, mainly targeted for start-up companies, innovators with projects or products that are close to commercialisation, established companies looking to conduct R&D and creating new spin-offs, research companies and professional service provider.
