About

NTU International Collaboration Seed Funding

In order to strengthen international academic collaboration, National Taiwan University (NTU) identified 7 strategic partners in 2016 and established the Strategic Partnership Seed Funding. In 2020, the funding was renamed to International Collaboration Seed Funding and tailored to reflect the NTU’s strategic partners. Currently, the International Collaboration Seed Funding hopes to encourage and support bilateral, initial academic collaboration and mobility between NTU and its strategic partners that has yet to form joint funding.
