NTU Lab Spotlight
To effectively demonstrate the scientific research capabilities of National Taiwan University and promote international academic exchanges, the University established the "NTU Lab Spotlight" database online as a platform for collaboration between NTU and the international academic community. The "NTU Lab Spotlight" database showcases the research highlights and international collaboration results of NTU's research centers and laboratories. Information on principal investigators, contact information, research scale, international cooperation experience and interests of each research center and laboratory is available in this database.
It is hoped that through the NTU Lab Spotlight Project, NTU's international scientific research brand can be highlighted, attracting not only more industry, government, academic researchers from the international community to cooperate with NTU's researchers, but also top talents from all over the world to study and work at NTU.
As of June 10, 2024, the database includes a total of 92 NTU Lab Spotlight. If you are interested in joining the database website, please contact the Global Relations Section of the Office of International Affairs.
