Taiwan, Tainan, June 11, 2013
A delegation led by Freddie Hoeglund, Chief Executive Officer of the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan (ECCT), visited National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, June 11, to reveal interest in the academia-industry collaboration and efforts on low carbon initiative.
NCKU President Hwung-Hweng Hwung welcomes the delegation and briefly introduces the university, “NCKU established in 1931and currently has approximately 22,000 students in 9 colleges. Many surveys throughout the years have shown that NCKU’s students are most desired by Taiwanese companies.”
“NCKU Magic School of Green Technology is regarded as Asia’s first educational building to obtain the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability in the United States and many other countries,” according to Hwung.
The delegation includes Director Erdal Elver, President and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Limited Taiwan, Director Uwe Halstenbach, TÜV Rheinland Taiwan Limited, Committee Co-chair Andreas Gursch, INEP-Asia Limited Taiwan Branch office, Freddie Hoeglund, Chief Executive Officer of ECCT, and Sammy Su, ECCT LCI Project Manager.
Hoeglund said, “The ECCT spearheaded the Low Carbon Initiative (LCI) to showcase the best European low carbon solutions and practices across a broad range of industries, to raise awareness about sustainable development and promote the adoption of low carbon solutions in order to help Taiwan to reduce its carbon emissions.”
“ECCT looks forward to working with NCKU on corporate social responsibility (CSR), and education side to promote the adaption of low carbon solutions to help build Taiwan a sustainable environment,” according to Elver.
“Maybe we can organize some workshops or programs on low carbon, setting up programs that would be highlight your strength and at the same time reflect how university engaged and integrated with the real society efforts,” said Dr. Huey-Jen Jenny Su, NCKU Executive Vice President.
“We are interested in working with the local Tainan city government and the university because we feel the LCI has a lot to contribute on the policy setting level,” noted Hoeglund. “I think it’s a real good win-win, and in this kind of situation, there will be some events that we like LCI members to attend.”
After the briefing of the Research Center for Energy Technology and Strategy (RCETS) and Sustainable Environment Research Laboratories (SERL), the delegation visits NCKU Magic School of Green Technology to get the picture of the low-carbon building in Taiwan.
