Saxon Science Liaison Office Taiwan

The Saxon Science Liaison Office Taiwan represents and promotes scientific exchange between Saxony and Taiwan. Based in the German Trade Office Taipei, TU Dresden operates this office on behalf of all Saxon universities and research institutions. One important program that is coordinated by this office is the Semiconductor Talent Incubation Program (STIPT). The program includes a six-month stay in Taiwan for students from Saxony, where they will complete an academic program that takes place at a Taiwanese partner university. This is then followed by a practical training in Taichung at TSMC – a global leader in the semiconductor industry. 

At the same time, the Saxon Science Liaison Office Taiwan systematically promotes Saxony as an attractive destination for study and research at higher education fairs and other marketing events in order to attract talent from Taiwan to Saxon universities as well as industry and commerce. The office provides study counseling for those interested in academic exchange. The Saxon Science Liaison Office Taiwan promotes scholarships and funding programs that are intended to increase exchange between Saxony and Taiwan and supports research collaborations and scientific delegations.

The tasks of the office are related to the state government's action plan for attracting international specialists to Saxony.
