Facts & Figures 131 MOUs and Collaboration Sharing new technologies and supporting scientific research activities has been a hallmark of the worldwide synchrotron light source community. The NSRRC has, from its foundation, sought local and international collaboration opportunities to build on previous success and to encourage new partnerships that contribute to scientific progress. The NSRRC has formalized relationships with a number of institutions and universities by establishing bilateral collaboration and signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU). These initiatives are an important vehicle to accelerate the pace of growth in research and development that is beneficial to all scientists and people around the world. In 2021, the NSRRC had the following valid MOUs and collaboration agreements in the four aspects: 1. Contract beamlines/endstations • TPS 02A Brain Imaging Beamline with Academia Sinica and National Tsing Hua University • TPS 13A Bio‐SAXS Beamline with Academia Sinica • TPS 27A STXM/Ptychography Endstation with Tamkang University • TPS 39A nanoARPES Endstation with Taiwan Consortium of Emergent Crystalline Materials • TPS 45A NSRRC‐MPI Beamline with Max‐Planck‐ Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids • TPS 45A TKU Endstation with Tamkang University 2. International collaboration on beamline/endstation operation and maintenance • Two Taiwan contract beamlines—SP12B, SP12U at SPring‐8, Japan • Cold neutron triple‐axis spectrometer—SIKA at ANSTO, Australia 3. Collaborations with research institutes and universities • Taiwan: Academia Sinica, National Central University, National Cheng Kung University, National Chung Cheng University, National Chung Hsing University, National Experimental High School At Hsinchu Science Park, National Health Research Institute, National Museum of Natural Science, National Pingtung University, National Pingtung University of Science & Technology, National Sun Yat‐sen University, National Taiwan University, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Tsing Hua University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Tamkang University, Tunghai University. • Asia and Oceania: IHEP/CAS, IVPP/CAS, Wuhan University, Soochou University, AIST, IPR/Osaka University, ISSP/University of Tokyo, JASRI, RIKEN SPring‐8, KEK, Okayama University, Tohoku University, PAL, POSTECH, SLRI, ThEP, SSLS, Alagappa University, ANSTO, AS • Europe: ALBA, DESY, JINR, DLS, MPG, ESRF, SOLEIOL, CELLS, DESY, MAX IV, HZB, Global Phasing Ltd, ELI Beamlines, EMBL, Elettra, CSIC, SOLARIS • America: ANL, APS, BNL, CHESS, NSLS-II, SLAC, Western University, CNPEM • User Agreement: APS, BESSY II, BNL, LBNL, NSLS, ORNL 4. Joint Graduate Programs with Taiwanese universities • Graduate Program in Science and Technology of Synchrotron Light Source with National Tsing Hua University • Structural Biology PhD Program with National Tsing Hua University, Academia Sinica, National Health Research Institutes • International PhD Program for Science—Synchrotron Radiation & Neutron Beam Application with National Sun Yat‐sen University • Science and Technology of Synchrotron Light Source with Graduate Institute of Applied Science and Technology, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology an ELI pan-European project, which includes several facilities located in Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania. The ELI Beamlines’ ultra-intensive laser systems and unique laser-driven particle acceleration can serve as a great complement to the X-ray facilities at NSRRC. This international collaboration is expected to facilitate innovative research in physics, molecular sciences, astrophysics and biomedical fields.
