The "Far Eastern Y. Z. Hsu Science and Technology Memorial Foundation" was established in 2001 in memory of Mr. Yu-Ziang Hsu, the late founder of the Far Eastern Group. The Foundation upholds its principle of encouraging “Technology and Innovation,” and therefore gives out the “Y. Z. Hsu Awards” annually, including Science Chair Professor, Science Paper Award, and Technology Invention Award. In addition, the honors of Outstanding Professor Award and Yuan Ze Chair Professor are given to staff from Yuan-Ze University, Oriental Institute of Technology, and Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, founded by Mr. Hsu, as well as their co-op partner, the National Taiwan University Hospital. The Foundation aims to promote outstanding science and technology achievement in domestic academia, focusing on nano technology, optoelectronics & communications, bio-medical technology, and green technologies, as well as AI intelligence, a newly added category in 2019.
