As Li Chen-ching explains, the MOE has decided this year to begin a special program for developing short-term researchers in key technology areas. Thirty-five spots will be funded for doctoral candidates recommended by their universities to go abroad to do research in 12 key areas-including nanotechnology, biotechnology, computer science, and microelectronics-for one year. Students need only have their application accepted, and they will be exempted from the normal exams for government scholarships.
哈佛大學這項傳統不是沒道理的，李振清說，為因應產業快速變遷需要，教育部決定今年開始設立專案培育重點科技短期研究人員，將移撥三十五個公費留學名額，由大學推薦博士生出國專研奈米、生命科學、資訊科學、微機電等十二項重點科技一年，只要申請獲准，不用參加公費考試。
