Then Vice President for Academic Affairs Professor Shih-Torng Ding, Vice President for International Affairs Professor Hsiao-Wei Yuan, and Associate Vice President for International Affairs Professor Jiun-Haw Lee led representatives from National Cheng Kung University, National Tsing Hua University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and National Sun Yat-sen University to promote the MOFA Taiwan Semiconductor Scholarship Program, recruit semiconductor talents, and advance partnerships in Central and Eastern Europe last winter.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) implemented the Taiwan Semiconductor Scholarship Program to attract talented international students in strategic fields, including semiconductor research, smart manufacturing and artificial intelligence. The scholarship program offers graduate students in these fields funding for one round-trip ticket to Taiwan, a tuition waiver of NT$80,000 per year, as well as a monthly stipend of NT$25,000 (for up to two years) for master students and NT$40,000 (for up to four years) for doctorate students.
The team organized a total of five recruitment events, visiting Masaryk University and Charles University in the Czech Republic, University of Warsaw in Poland, Kaunas University of Technology, and Vilnius University in Lithuania, and the Slovak University of Technology in Slovakia. Students and university representatives from the four countries showed great interest in the scholarship program.
During the tour, Professors Ding, Yuan, and Lee reconnected with NTU’s partner institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, including Charles University, the Czech Academy of Sciences, the University of Warsaw, and Vilnius University. They discussed ways to enhance both the international mobility of participating students and faculty members and the potential for dual degrees and joint courses.
Professors Ding and Yuan also held bilateral meetings with Kaunas University of Technology’s Vice-Rector Čeponis as well as Vilnius University’s Vice-Rector Sužiedėlienė and Pro-Rector Vasiliauskas respectively. Furthermore, Professor Yuan signed the Erasmus+ agreement with Vilnius University on behalf of NTU, facilitating increased student mobility between the two universities.
