On October 20, 2024, the inaugural “Taiwan Research Day” was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, marking a new milestone in scientific collaboration between Taiwan and Europe.
The event was officially opened by Erasmus University Medical Center Vice-Dean Maarten A. Frens and Jennifer Hsieh, Economic Division Director, Taipei Representative Office. Following the opening, inspiring speeches were delivered by Eva Broer, Strategy Policy Advisor of International School of Social Sciences (ISS), Marloes Smeets from Netherlands office Taipei via remote connection, and Renze de Keiser, Policy Officer Programme International Innovation at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, offering fresh perspectives on global collaboration. With 50 to 60 participants attending in person and an additional 40 to 50 joining online, the enthusiastic response from over a hundred attendees set an exciting tone for the rest of the day. Next, Wang-Long Li, Director General from Department of International Cooperation and Science Education, NSTC explored Taiwan’s future outlook in international scientific cooperation. The symposium brought together top scholars and researchers from Taiwan and the Netherlands to engage in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as biomedicine, precision medicine, semiconductor design, and international cooperation, while exploring innovative opportunities in global technology collaboration.
The symposium continued with a keynote address by Dr. Ying-Chyi Chou, Director of Science & Technology Division Taipei Representative Office in the EU and Belgium, who emphasized Taiwan’s critical role in semiconductor research and development, as well as its unique science park ecosystems. She highlighted Taiwan’s significant position on the global technological stage and opened doors to new international collaborations. Berry Bonenkamp, Senior Policy Officer from Dutch Research Council (NWO), followed with a presentation on the deepening cooperation between the NSTC and NWO, showcasing their joint efforts in the “Dragon Gate” to advance breakthroughs in technology, science, humanities, and social sciences, enabling Taiwan-Europe collaboration to shine on the global stage.
Among the key highlights was the collaboration between Taiwan and Europe in the field of integrated circuit design. Deputy Director from Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute, TSRI Dr. Ying-Zong Juang ‘s in-depth analysis, paired with the excellent moderation by Dr. Alina Rwei from TU Delft, provided participants with insights into the latest developments in chip design collaboration between Taiwan and Europe, sparking ideas for future innovation and cooperation.
Later, dementia care design expert Barbara J. Huelat and Dr. Shih-Yi Lin from Taichung Veterans General Hospital guided attendees through the unique “dementia village” (Hogeweyk) in the Netherlands, exploring how to create a people-centered care environment. Moderated by Dr. Oscar H. Franco from the University Medical Center Utrecht, this session not only shared innovative care models from the Netherlands but also delved into how these approaches can improve patients’ quality of life, offering new perspectives on how to provide more compassionate elder care, thus contributing fresh insights to the field of biomedicine.
In the afternoon, Dr. Jelmer Renema from the University of Twente and Dr. Michiel De Dood from Leiden University led us in a deep exploration of the research collaboration outcomes with Dr. Jun-Yi Wu’s team from Tamkang University in Taiwan. They showcased the complementary technological strengths of both sides. While the Netherlands is known for its low-loss quantum processors and quantum architecture design, Taiwan leads in photon sources and quantum information processing technology. Both research teams emphasized that through joint experimental research, they will further advance the design and optimization of photonic computing components, as well as enhance applications in quantum communication and quantum sensing technologies.
Through case studies from the Dragon Gate, Dr. A.H. Gijlers, Dr. Hsin-Chueh(Lily) Chen from the University of Twente, Dr. Hsin Huang from Erasmus University Medical Center, and Dr. Miao-Ping Chien brought valuable insights. In the field of climate change education, their research aimed to combine multimodal learning analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance the digital teaching effectiveness of climate change courses. The researchers demonstrated how AI technology can analyze learners’ behavior and personalize education, while highlighting the potential of this technology to tackle global climate challenges. Under the excellent moderation of Dr. Antoinette Maassen van den Brink, this cross-disciplinary dialogue not only sparked innovative ideas but also pointed the way to new directions in scientific exploration. Additionally, participants discussed future possibilities in doctoral training, bilateral research project funding, and academic-industry collaboration models. Both sides look forward to deepening cooperation in areas such as research funding, talent cultivation, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements through initiatives like the Academia Sinica, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and EU Erasmus+ programs.
