NIMS and NTHU have been strengthening their collaboration through joint research and personnel exchange activities. In December 2013, the two institutions concluded an agreement for the International Cooperative Graduate Program (ICGP). The establishment of the Joint Research Center is expected to further enhance research exchanges, particularly through frameworks such as the ICGP and the NIMS Internship Program, and to promote and expand international collaborative research.
