Science & Technology Policy Research and Information Center(2009)

Year 2009 is the fifth year for the newly established STPI and is also the starting point for entering the next stage full of challenges and opportunities. The STPI has completed its core competences in empirical science and technology(S&T) policy research and gradually provided more policy suggestions to the main customers. Simultaneously, the STPI still maintains the information services providing to Taiwan’s research communities at a very high level. As such, this year is the turning point for the STPI to strive for its goals for the next four years to better serve the needs of Taiwan’s National Science Council(NSC) and other government ministries with S&T jurisdictions. Based on actual operations, experience accumulation, and cooperation with both domestic and international research entities, the STPI aims to develop its core capabilities in supporting every linkage of the government’s S&T policy-making cycles such as policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation.
