Hsinchu-Taiwan Hsinchu City is a Taiwanese town with a colorful historical story. It is commonly known as "wind town" or "windy city" because of its famous gusts. Presently it is the all-important technology center of Taiwan. From a geographical standpoint, Hsinchu is situated in a favorable location: the driving distance to the Taiwanese capital of Taipei is around only 1 hour; Taoyuan International airport is a 40- minute drive; and to the south, the city of Taichung is only another 60 minutes away. The Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park primarily develops high-tech research and products, especially in the fields of semiconductors, computers, information technology, and optical engineering. Globally speaking, it is a huge success story as far as technology parks go. Not only has the Hsinchu Science Park earned Hsinchu the euphonic title of "City of Technology", it has also created countless job opportunities. Neighboring the Science Park are two of Taiwan's top-notch secondary education programs, National Tsing Hua University and National Chiao Tung University The major national organizations, including National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, National Research Laboratories, Industrial Technology and Research Institutes, lead the advanced scientific and technological development projects under the National Science Council and the Economical Bureau.
VASSCAA-7 (2014) hosted by the Taiwan Vacuum Society (TVS) Impacts: Expand the global views and bring more opportunities of international communications about the vacuum science, technology, and the applications, for the communities in either academic or industrial fields in Taiwan. Provide a platform for the young scientists and students to present the scientific papers as well as the vacuum suppliers to exhibit their products to the worldwide experts. Funding from government: (has been offered) 20,000 Euros, granted by Ministry of Science and Technology 13,200 Euros, granted by Bureau of Foreign Trade
Taiwan Vacuum Society (TVS) Taiwan Vacuum Society (TVS) was established on September 26th, 1986, founded by a group of professionals from all around Taiwan who share a common interest in vacuum technology. TVS-2016 (30th Annual Ceremony) TVS insists on three goals: creation, service and education. Gather the knowledge and experience in vacuum technology and devote to the vacuum technological developments. Provide vacuum-related technical service to academic, industrial and business areas. Issue the Journal of Taiwan Vacuum Society periodically, publish textbooks to educate and train talent professionals and engineers with vacuum technology.
