Academia Sinica (Taiwan), the most preeminent academic institution in the Republic of China and one of the top Asian institutions (#12 Scimago 2014), was founded in 1928 and comprises 24 research institutes and 7 research centers under three divisions: Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Humanities and Social Sciences. Academia Sinica promotes the internal integration of research activities in these three research disciplines; to enhance the impact of the research activities; to harness basic research results for applications and technology transfer; to engage the entire academic and research community in Taiwan in a modern and forward-looking collective academic vision; to cultivate an intellectual environment that is conducive to the nurturing of young scholars and the recognition of outstanding scholarship in Taiwan; and to promote international cooperation and scholarly exchanges that will accelerate the overall development of academic research in Academia Sinica and the Republic of China.
Academia Sinica (AS) is strongly connected at an international level and hosts a variety of high quality research programs.
