Creating
the Better Future --- the NTU-UT Alliance Experience
Life is a series of accidental collisions.
It is of this time, 2009 November, a collision among delegates from east Asia research universities sparked at the National Taiwan University (for the 10th AEARU meeting at the GIS NTU Conference Center) and fostering the global cooperation between Taiwan and Japan education systems. Coincidentally, the keynote address was our current NTU President Pan-Chyr Yang. Director Shih-Torng Ding of NTU Center for Biotechnology was honorably assigned to organize this meeting but with helps from a bunch of junior faculty members. The representative of University of Tsukuba, Professor Yasunori Kanaho, was also there.
Inspired from this collision, NTU has explored into a series of action to promote academic cooperation between partner universities, including the University of Tsukuba (UT) at Japan. Several key events with UT are listed:
December 2009 The 1st visit to University of Tsukuba --- meeting Prof. Kyosuke Nagata (the Current UT President), Yasunori Kanaho (the current Provost), Mituyasu Kato (the current Vice Provost) and Osamu Ohneda (the Current Director of Office for International Strategy).
May 2010 The 1st National Taiwan University-University of Tsukuba joint meeting (Life Science Building; Total of 8 Tsukuba Professors and 12 NTU Professors joined)
September 2010 Education Cooperation --- One long-distance Course on Molecular and Cellular Biology
January 2011 (a) The 10th NTU-Japan joint mini-symposium at NTU
(b) Signing Ceremony, the MOU between the Comprehensive Human Sciences of UT and 3 NTU colleges (College of Life Sciences, Agriculture and Bio-resources and Medicine)
February 2011 Education Cooperation --- one long-distance Course on Molecular and Cellular Biology
August 2011 Education Cooperation --- Summer Program (NTU) and UT Schools (10 NTU and 10 UT students; 4 weeks)
September 2011 Education Cooperation --- Two long-distance Courses on Molecular and Cellular Signaling and Cancer Biology
November 2011 Invited to the 1st Leading Graduate School Conference at UT (4 Professors and 12 students from NTU)
January 2012 Two NTU students interviewed by Tsukuba Professors at NTU Center fro Biotechnology for admission to Human Biology Ph.D. Program (HBP) of UT
August 2012 Education Cooperation and Exchange --- Summer Plus 4 Program (NTU) and UT Summer School (12 NTU and 12 UT students)
September 2012 (a) The 1st dual-degree master student, Ms. Pei-Han Tai, from NTU (b) The 1st NTU student successfully administrated into the HBP with a full fellowship
November 2012 Invited to the 2nd Leading Graduate School Conference at UT (3 Professors and 12 students from NTU).
December 2012 (a) Professor and Director Saturo Takehashi of the UT Animal Facility was invited to consult on the NTU Animal Center.
(b) UT Professor Mitsuyasu Kato was invited to deliver a speech at NTUCM
May 2013 The 11th NTU-Japan joint mini-symposium at Kyoto University
August 2013 Education Cooperation and Exchange --- Summer Plus 4 Program (NTU) and UT Summer School (12 NTU and 12 UT students)
September 2103 (a) Two Dual-degree Ph.D. students from NTU
(b) Two NTU students successfully administrated into the Human Biology Ph.D. Program with full fellowships
October 2013 Invited to the 3rd Leading Graduate School Conference and Tsukuba Global Science Week at UT (also the 40th + 101st Anniversary; 6 Professors and 15 NTU students from NTU)
November 2103 Two NTU students applied for HBP program.
December 2013 The 12th NTU-Japan joint mini-symposium at NTU
February 2014 The 1st NTU-UT Joint Faculty Conference
In this coming February, a milestone collision with UT continues and will be taking place at NTU synergistically to create alliance for the better future. The goal for this joint conference is simple, but bold: Synergy, Alliance and the Better Future. The purpose of this conference aims to strengthen and extend multidisciplinary education and research cooperation for the development of global human resources. In the afternoon, Feb. 21st, there will be two plenary sections in the education cooperation (Higher Education without Borders, with student presentations on experience of exchange and education cooperation) and research collaboration (Cutting-Edge Leading Research). On Feb. 22nd, three specific academic sections in parallel (6 research areas) and target visit to potential collaborative PI labs and research centers were also planned.
Through this, NTU and UT are synergistically creating a positive environment for faculty members and students to collide thereby fostering a stimulating and desirable collaborations in the word of education, knowledge and innovation. Importantly, in this meeting, participants shall agree to exchange views on the matters of concern to the two sides and to seek cooperative projects mutually beneficial to each other.
At the leading position of the higher education in Taiwan, NTU has undertaken initiatives in several areas to create cooperative academic relations between our 2 countries and to further develop global education and research alliance in East Asia. As also pointed out on our university policy, we firmly believe that there can be no great education without the essential participation of partner universities and global alliances. With the long-standing relationship between UT and NTU, we are sure this joint conference will be a blast, colliding into a beautiful bilateral relation between our countri
