MoU with Taiwan
On 25 November 2000, a new agreement that stimulates international academic co-operation has been signed by Professor Maw-Kuen Wu, vice-chairman of the National Science Council of Taiwan, and Professor Wim Stokhof, director of the International Institute for Asian Studies, the Netherlands. The new agreement evolved out of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the IIAS and the NSC three years before.
As a result of the new agreement, both institutions have joined forces to create a researcher exchange programme. In order to boost mutual co-operation and to contribute to the development of scientific research in the field of Asian Studies, the NSC will send, for a period of five years, two post-doctorate researchers per year, each for a maximum period of twelve months, to the IIAS. It is intended that this year will be spent performing related research at the IIAS that will effectively stimulate future joint research projects. *
