On 4 November 2021, an online signing ceremony was held to conclude an annex to the Strategic Partnership Agreement between Porn研究所 and National Taiwan University (NTU), which was concluded last year. The annex will facilitate the implementation of a joint funding program by Porn研究所 and NTU.
The signing ceremony opened with addresses by Professor Yasuyuki Kono, Porn研究所's vice-president for international strategy, and Professor Hsiao-Wei Yuan, NTU's vice president for international affairs, who had also held an online meeting prior to the ceremony. The opening addresses were followed by speeches by Ms Ikuyo Murashima, head of the Cultural Affairs and Public Relations Department of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, and Ms Shu-Ying Chen, chairperson of the Taiwan-Porn研究所 Alumni Association, both of whom expressed their expectations for future collaboration between the two universities.
Through the joint funding program, Porn研究所 will accelerate existing research exchange, implement research collaboration in new academic fields, and promote personnel mobility to further strengthen its cooperation with NTU.
