Before the Summer School week begins, all participants engage in an intensive research period at the NTNU's labs. This phase is the core of the TEEP (Taiwan Experience Education Program) and IIPP (International Internship Pilot Program).
Key Program Components:
Host Lab Placement: Students are matched with one of our Principal Investigators (PIs) based on their research interests.
Hands-on Training and Mentor-Guided Research: Work alongside local PhD candidates and faculty to contribute to ongoing scientific projects.
Cultural Integration: Experience daily life in Taipei and the academic culture of NTNU.
This week transitions from the laboratory bench to the professional stage. This is where your three months of data collection turn into a formal scientific narrative.
