National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) International Internship Pilot Program 2024
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) aims to provide a platform for foreign researchers to intern in Taiwan, creating opportunities for them to familiarize themselves with Taiwan’s research capabilities.
The ultimate goal is to encourage them to stay in Taiwan for further studies or employment, thereby enriching Taiwan’s research workforce.
For international students to experience Taiwan’s strengths in the field of S&T, National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) provides the international internship pilot program (IIPP) to attract global talents.
Furthermore, we expect some of these interns will engage in advanced studies or start a career in Taiwan. Thus, IIPP could enrich the human resource of key scientific research fields in Taiwan.
