Mr. Ching-Jong Liao, President of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Vice-Rector for Information System of the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague, Radek Holý.

The agreement aims at fortifying academic research cooperation, coordinating joint research projects and promoting academic exchanges between Taiwan and the Czech Republic. NTUST-CTU relations are not only the oldest, timewise, but also the most prolific of all similar such academic agreements between Taiwanese universities and the Czech Republic.

Strengthening of NTUST-CTU ties will spawn mutual communication and investment in the fields of intelligent transportation systems, information security, artificial intelligence and other such engineering domains in the years to come. It is hoped and expected that such developments will promote expanded international industry-university cooperation opportunities and advanced research project creation.

Vice-rector of the Czech Technical University in Prague Radek Holy presented the honorary CTU Gold Medal to President Ching-Jong Liao on behalf of CTU President Vojtech Petracek to express what he said was President Liao’s unflagging contribution to the development of higher education in the Czech Republic.
