A memorandum of understanding on science and technology cooperation was renewed by the National Science and Technology Council and the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) July 4 in Taipei City. The new pact was signed by Yeh Chih-cheng, director general of NSTC’s Department of International Cooperation and Science Education, and SSF CEO Lars Hultman, with NSTC Deputy Minister Chen Bing-yu witnessing the event. It will help further strengthen academic and technological sector bonds while advancing research collaboration and personnel exchanges, the NSTC said. During the ceremony, Chen said that Sweden is one of the top innovative countries globally, adding that its outstanding sustainability practices are especially worthwhile for Taiwan to emulate. Following Chen’s remarks, Hultman said that he will be pleased to see academics expand exchanges based on the renewed agreement. The CEO will also visit Taipei-based National Applied Research Laboratories and National Taipei University of Technology to explore more cooperative opportunities, the NSTC added. According to the NSTC, the previous MOU was signed by the then-Ministry of Science and Technology and SSF in August 2019 and under the accord, Taiwan and Sweden jointly approved 14 projects in 2020, including in lead‐free solid‐state lithium batteries, chip-scale accelerators and advanced gallium nitride devices for communications. Fourteen Taiwan academics and 23 Swedish scientists with research areas spanning information and communications technology, biology and material sciences were involved. The renewal of the MOU demonstrates great strides made over the past five years, and will help Taiwan and Sweden deepen future research partnerships, the NSTC said. It added that participants under the former pact recognize that their different cultures and complementary expertise have stimulated innovation. (YCH-E) Write to Taiwan Today at ttonline@mofa.gov.tw
