During the visit, NTU’s Office of Research and Development and Office of International Affairs shared their results and strategies for international outreach.
France has the most NTU partner universities among European countries. The scope of cooperation extends to exchange students, joint degrees, and research projects.
A delegation led by Ms. Claire Giry, Director General of Research and Innovation at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR), visited National Taiwan University (NTU) with representatives from top French research institutes including The French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), among others. They were warmly welcomed by President Chen and explored NTU’s research achievements and international collaboration projects.
One of the highlights of the visit was the introduction of the “One Health”, concept by Professor Fang-Chia Chang from the School of Veterinary Medicine, emphasizing the interconnectedness between human beings, animals, plants, and the environment. The delegation also toured the Green Health Research Center, where Prof. Hui-Mei Chen and Prof. Chun-Yen Chang presented innovative research rooms, showcasing the integration of AIoT technology to provide precise and innovative contributions to Taiwan in the fields of environment, biology, and human health.
The collaboration between NTU and France is growing rapidly, with a solid foundation on student exchanges, dual degrees, and joint research initiatives. President Chen and Director-General Claire Giry underscored the pivotal role that NTU plays in fostering Taiwan-France cooperation. To solidify their long-term objectives, both parties are keen on establishing joint laboratories and centers to facilitate enduring and robust exchanges between the institutions. This visit signifies a promising era of enhanced academic and research cooperation between NTU and France.
