International Human Resources
InternationalWorkshops
The purpose of TaiwanICDF
international workshops is to assist
partner countries in promoting human
resources. Besides introducing
Taiwan’s unique experiences of
social and economic development,
the TaiwanICDF plans and develops
workshops with various themes such
as trade and economics, agriculture,
industrial (SME) development,
public health and medicine, and the
environment and education, based
on the perspectives of sustainable
national development and resource
planning.
For years, the TaiwanICDF has
shared Taiwan’s advantages and
successful development experiences
with partner countries, responding to
international development trends and
the needs of partner countries by
adjusting the themes of its workshops
on an annual basis. Each workshop
includes a brief introduction to the
current state of Taiwan, and provides
participants with a platform from
which to approach their theme
through professional communication
and the sharing of experiences.
Experts from industrial, government
and academic fields are also invited
to give lectures based around a
particular sub-topic, while laboratory
work and field studies can also be
provided according to the features of
a particular course. Each workshop
concludes with trainees attending
discussions with experts and
completing group presentations,
aiming to enhance trainees’ learning
results, and ensuring that their newly
acquired knowledge can be applied
to future policy development, thereby
upgrading institutional capacity,
improving human resources and
enhancing partner countries’ national
competitiveness.
In accordance with the needs of
partner countries, the TaiwanICDF
held 19 professional workshops in
2014, attended by 398 officials from
