Research Arrangement

This program is proposed for Current Master or PhD students from renowned foreign universities to participate in short-term research at NCTU (Partner school students would be considered first). Faculty members with various specialties (in the areas of engineering, social science, computer science, biological science, electrical and computer engineering or management, etc.) from different colleges of NCTU will participate in the program and invite prospective students to do research with professors. Students will be conducting research on either a small independent project or assisting an ongoing project in the host laboratories. At the end of the research, students will be asked to submit a report regarding their research work at NCTU. Qualified students will be offered 1) free round-trip economy class flight ticket from their home country to Taiwan and *2) additional NTD 5,000 scholarship (including 6% tax) for the first month in NCTU.
