Minister of Science and Technology Chen Liang-gee (陳良基) yesterday attended a beam-
raising ceremony for the main building of the Joint Research Center for Green Energy Technologies in Tainan, saying that he expects the center to become a hub for research on green energy generation, preservation and storage.
The center is near the Tainan High Speed Rail Station and is part of the wider Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City, which also encompasses Academia Sinica’s planned second campus, the Taiwan CAR (connected, autonomous, road-test) Lab and other industrial or exhibition spaces.
The Taiwan CAR Lab, which is focused on developing self-driving technology, was inaugurated in February.
Construction crews broke ground for the joint research center in April last year and it is expected to be completed by February next year. [FULL STORY]
