Office of Research and Development

The Office of Research and Development (ORD) has been established as a bridge or platform among the university, government, organizations, and enterprises for strengthening the collaboration and resource sharing. The ORD consists of the main office and four centers including (1)Manpower Promotion Center (MPC), (2)Service-center of Project Affairs (ScPA), and (3)Instrumentation Center (Ic). Brief introduction of these centers are described as below.

MPC

The Manpower Promotion Center (MPC) is to facilitate interactions between the NTUST and enterprises and also to promote NTUST research achievements to industry. Moreover, the IACC is obligated to synchronize NTUST research capability with industrial trends for reducing the lead time of development and therefore, to improve research capacity of industry effectively.

ScPA

The Service-center of Project Affairs (ScPA) serves as the window and the management unit for the faculty of the university to conduct research projects and industrial-academic cooperation projects. Our services include assistances in applying for and executing the research projects of the government, the industrial-academic cooperation projects of the public and private sectors, and the international collaborative projects. With the passion to serve faculty and the mission to promote industry upgrading, the GAC devotes itself in promoting the research and innovation capabilities of the faculty, matching the needs of industrial technology, as well as conducting the related administrative support and services. In addition, the GAC is actively seeking all possible domestic and foreign academic research and industrial cooperation opportunities and promoting major subject-oriented cluster plans. In conjunction with the related technical professionals, we shall present the highlights of industrial-academic cooperation outcomes with focused R&D incentives. 

IC

The Instrumentation Center at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology was established in 2002 with the support of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and NTUST. Currently, the Center houses 15 advanced instruments, including three X-ray diffractometers, one X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, one nanoindenter, two atomic force microscopes, two transmission electron microscopes, and two scanning electron microscopes, among others. Individual laboratories and faculty from universities, as well as regular companies, often find it difficult to afford these sophisticated and expensive instruments. Our mission is to support research at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and to provide services to all universities, research institutes, and industrial sectors. With the Center's resources, we can manage instruments efficiently and ensure that students receive comprehensive training.
