From December 2 to 3, 2025, five members of the Graduate School of Science at The University of Osaka visited National Taiwan Normal University at the university’s kind invitation.

On December 2, we paid a courtesy visit to National Taiwan Normal University and met with three professors: Prof. Wen-Chung Kao, Dean of the College of Interdisciplinary Industry-Academia Innovation, Prof. Cheng-Hung Lin, and Prof. Hui-Ling Sung. We exchanged views on future educational and research collaboration as well as the possibility of holding an AI Workshop using semiconductors and discussed specific approaches for organizing the workshop. We plan to continue discussions toward organizing the workshop.

Furthermore, on December 3, we visited Realtek Semiconductor and Eink, where we received detailed explanations about each company’s business overview and research and development, and viewed their product and technology displays. These visits provided valuable insights for us to design and develop the “Global Researcher Development Intensive Program in Taiwan,” scheduled for the next fiscal year, particularly for shaping the program including company visits.

The following five members from The University of Osaka’s Graduate School of Science visited National Taiwan Normal University:

KONDO Tadashi, Dean, Professor
KUBO Takashi, Associate Dean, Professor
KOSHINO Mikito, Professor
FUJII Ryoko, Assistant Head of Administration
YOKOI Nozomi, Administrative Staff

This visit gave us a great chance to build closer ties with National Taiwan Normal University.
