US-Taiwan Workshop on Smart and Connected Communities, Agriculture, and Cyber-Physical Systems Research

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This project supports the coordination of a series of workshops and meetings to explore deeper scientific collaborations between researchers from Taiwan and researchers from the United States. A significant challenge with international collaboration is to go beyond the matchmaking phase, in order to encourage deeper collaboration that could lead to new discoveries.

The proposed effort takes place over several distinct phases: (1) a virtual meeting between US and Taiwanese participants, aimed at discovering opportunities to start meaningful collaborations that could result in deeper engagement; (2) international collaboration through existing funding mechanisms, based on exchange of data or replication of results to build confidence in collaboration mechanisms; (3) an in-person workshop that allows collaborating teams to present their efforts from Phase 2; and (4) planning for funded engagements between researchers based on promising lines of inquiry. The virtual workshop explores, over 2 evenings, similarities between efforts taking place in Taiwan and the United States along the lines of Smart & Connected Communities, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Smart Agriculture.
