Co-organized by the NTU Office of International Affairs and the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), with support from the Thailand Trade and Economic Office (Taipei) and Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI), this 10-day intensive program brings distinguished professors from leading Thai universities to NTU for advanced academic training.
The program features lectures by leading faculty members from NTU’s College of EECS and the Department of Political Science, covering semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and in-depth analyses of industrial development and geopolitical dynamics. Participants also visited NTU’s Maker Space, Electronics Circuits Laboratory, Delta–NTU Joint Research & Development Center, TSMC–NTU Joint Research Center, and Digital Circuits and Systems Laboratory, and engaged in hands-on chip fabrication at the NTU Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems Center—showcasing NTU’s strengths in frontier research and experiential teaching.
Beyond the classroom, the program offers a rich combination of industry exposure and cultural exploration:
- Industry Visits: Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute, HSPM Discovery Center, and TSMC Innovation Museum, providing an inside look at Taiwan’s cutting-edge semiconductor innovation ecosystem.
- Cultural Exploration: Guided tours of Dadaocheng and Yilan, introducing participants to Taiwan’s cultural heritage and historical landscape.
At the opening ceremony, remarks were delivered by NTU Associate Vice President for International Affairs Prof. Kuo-Hsin Yang, Executive Director Mr. Narong Boonsatheanwong of the Thailand Trade and Economic Office (Taipei), Prof. Supachai Pathumnakul of MHESI Thailand, NTU EECS Associate Dean Prof. Jian Jang Huang, and Project Owner Prof. Sa-ngiamsak from Khon Kaen University. All speakers encouraged participants to fully engage with NTU’s faculty and facilities and to deepen Taiwan–Thailand academic and research collaboration.
NTU looks forward to seeing participants become key drivers of future technological exchange and enduring cooperation between Taiwan and Thailand.
