NSRRC Activity Report 2022

124 NSRRC ACTIVITY REPORT 2022 MOUs and Collaboration Making the power of synchrotron light sources available to more cross-field applications, building new experimental equipment, developing new capabilities, and nurturing scientific talents were the four focuses of collaboration in 2022 for the NSRRC. With continuing sharing of new technologies and by supporting scientific research activities, the NSRRC has, from its foundation, sought opportunities for local and international collaboration 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 for accelerating the pace of growth in research and development that is beneficial to all scientists and people around the world. The MOU signing ceremony was conducted via videoconferencing between the NSRRC and the Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University The 2022 NSRRC Open House allowed the public of all ages to experience science in an exciting way. Participants watched interesting scientific films with 3D glasses. Meanwhile, there were several fun science booths. The TKUCSE and High-energy Optics & Electronics Laboratory (HOPE Lab) of NTHU provided interesting pop-science activities for the participants, allowing children to explore science better through games and DIY activities.
