  1. Industry-Academia CooperationASP-DAC 2000 Panel Youn-Long Lin Tsing Hua University Hsin-Chu, Taiwan

  2. Taiwan’s Information/Electronics Industry • Make decent products affordable for the mass • e.g., PC @ $99 that satisfies 90% of the customers • Small-sized, specialized companies • “Only when I come to Taiwan can I realize that motherboard is an industry by itself.” -- A. Grove • No standard setter • Live on slim margin • Very little long-term R&D

  3. Taiwan’s Universities • Professors’ life is easy although pay is low • Kind of semi-communism • Very good for self-motivated professors • $3,000 per year per student • Industrial cooperation is encouraged, morally

  4. Present status about university-industry collaboration • Industry-funded projects (<20% in NTHU) • Government&Industry-funded projects • e.g., the P7 project • Professors provide consulting to industry • Professors are very influential in government high-tech policy setting and fund distribution to industry

  5. The P7 Project • High-Performance CPU • 3 years, NT$150M (US$5M) • NSC 80%, Industry (3 companies) 20% • NCTU-led multiple universities involvement

  6. Organization for collaboration between universities and industries • MOEA funds ITRI; ITRI carries out projects cooperating with university and industry (kind of subcontract) • NSC runs an Industry-Academia Collaboration Fund • University-run incubators (46 centers)

  7. What prevents university and industry from more collaboration • Professors are treated as public servant, hence, cannot take on managerial position in the industry; Consulting only • Industry hasn’t been convinced that professors are helpful in developing marketable technology • Incentive system (salary, promotion appreciate industry collaboration very little)

  8. Future • Relaxed regulations • Universities’ financial pressure will force professors to seek for industry cooperation • Advanced technology need will turn industry to university for help • MOEA funds universities directly
