National Science Council to cooperate with Leibniz

BERLIN — Taiwan’s National Science Council (NSC) and Germany’s Leibniz Gemeinschaft have reached an agreement to strengthen the scientific cooperation between the two countries, government officials reported Friday.

The memorandum of understanding, signed by NSC Deputy Minister Chen Cheng-hong and President of Leibniz-Gemeinschaft Ernst Th. Rietschel Nov. 6 in Berlin, will promote cooperation in 10 areas, including novel materials, nanoscience, pharmacology, energy, micro-electronics, and regional political economy, according to NSC officials stationed in Berlin.

Rietschel noted that Taiwan is a young country, and his association is also a young entity, so that the first two or three projects will help build mutual confidence to solidify long-term cooperation.
