Introduction

In the early 1980s, the Executive Yuan, the highest administrative branch of the R.O.C. government, implemented a program under which four advanced research centers were established on four national university campuses around Taiwan. The purpose of such a program is to recruit and cultivate talents in advanced sciences and technology. National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) was selected to oversee research and development in microelectronics and computer science under the auspices of this program. This led to the founding of the Microelectronics and Information Systems Research Center (MIRC) at NCTU in July 1984.

MIRC's mission is threefold: to coordinate interdepartmental research at NCTU on advanced projects in the area of microelectronics and information systems, to promote academic and industrial cooperations, and to pursue excellency in graduate research in the aforementioned fields.
