A delegation composed of representatives from University of Innsbruck and TU Wien visited Taiwan Oct. 27-Nov. 1 at the invitation of the Ministry of Education.
According to the MOE, the delegates included Veronika Sexl, University of Innsbruck’s rector; Thomas Baumgartner, director of its International Affairs office; and Jens Schneider, rector at TU Wien. The ministry said that University of Innsbruck, founded in 1669, has long had cooperative partnerships with Taiwanese universities, while TU Wien, is known for technical research in the fields of computational science, information and communications technology, material science and quantum technology.
Joyce Yu-Jiuan Lee, director general of the MOE’s Department of International and Cross-strait Education, said that partnerships between individual schools and the Taiwan-Austria Higher Education Forum have laid the foundation for academic exchange. She added that this visit enabled the two sides to discuss more substantive collaboration and explore cooperation on artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, quantum technology and sustainable development.
During the group’s stay in Taiwan, University of Innsbruck and Taipei City-based National Chengchi University renewed a cooperative agreement. The delegation also visited National Yang Ming Chao Tung University’s Advanced Stacked Devices Lab and Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute in Hsinchu City. (POC-E)
