2024.05.29 France-Taiwan Workshop on organic electronic 

On May 29, 2024, a one-day workshop on organic electronics was held at the University of Strasbourg, France. Jointly organized by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), the workshop covered a wide range of topics in the field of organic electronics, from fundamental research to applications, with a particular focus on sensors.

A total of eleven Taiwanese and French researchers delivered presentations and engaged in in-depth discussions. The program also included visits to two CNRS research laboratories in Strasbourg (Prof. Thomas Heiser, Dr. Gilles Ulrich). This exchange further led to a new collaboration between Prof. Hsin-Fei Meng (NYCU) and Prof. Patrick Leveque (University of Strasbourg).

2025.06.19 France-Taiwan Workshop “Nano & Sensors”

The France–Taiwan Workshop on “Nano & Sensors” was held on June 19, 2025, at CNRS-LAAS in Toulouse. The workshop contributed to the scientific dynamics of the IRP, by highlighting joint research achievements and exploring new opportunities for collaboration. It aims to bring together researchers from both countries working at the interface of chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, and nanotechnologies, with a shared focus on advanced sensing technologies.

The workshop was co-organized by Prof. Hsiao-Wen Zan and Dr. Olivier Soppera, and supported by CNRS, LAAS (Dr. Véronique Bardinal and Justine Praneuf). It reflects the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in the development of nanoscale materials and sensor systems for real-world challenges.

“Nano & Sensors” is a field at the crossroads of fundamental science and technological innovation, strong societal impact in areas such as environmental monitoring, healthcare diagnostics, and smart technologies. This workshop provides a valuable platform to exchange scientific results, stimulate new collaborations, and strengthen the long-standing ties between the French and Taiwanese research communities.
