Global collaboration

The first week in December, University Provost and Senior Vice President for Research Robert Clark and Vice Provost for Global Engagement Jane Gatewood traveled to Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, to meet with National Taiwan University (NTU) President Pan-Chyr Yang, NTU faculty members and administrators, and several University of Rochester alumni. The University has collaborated with NTU since the mid-1990s, and part of this recent discussion was focused on planning future collaborations between the two institutions, including renewing the formal collaboration agreement and expanding it to student and faculty exchange. In addition to visiting NTU, Clark and Gatewood met with officials from Taiwan’s Ministry of Education to discuss various funding mechanisms that could support future collaboration.
