I. Considering that NSTC already possesses diverse resources to facilitate industry-academia collaboration, including industry-academia collaborative research projects, forward-looking technology industry-academia collaborative projects, industry-academia technology alliance collaborative projects, and practical research projects between vocational colleges and private universities, the application process for the proposed projects will cease from January 1, 2027, and applications will no longer be accepted from that date.

II. Applications submitted to NSTC before December 31, 2026 (inclusive) will still be processed according to the original application guidelines and relevant regulations; projects that have already received additional funding will continue to be implemented according to the original approved content and relevant regulations until the project's expiration.
