Taiwan and the Czech Republic cooperate on the material sciences, smart agriculture, biotechnology and information security, he said. On Friday last week, Representative to Hungary Liu Shih-Chung (劉世忠) led a delegation to visit the testing facility, which is the biggest testing ground in Europe for self-driving vehicles. In 2019, Taiwan established its first closed testing ground for self-driving vehicles — called the Taiwan CAR (connected, autonomous and road-test) Lab — in Tainan, which is operated by the National Applied Research Laboratories. This year’s conference is to be hosted by Taiwan, but whether it is in person or virtual depends on the virus situation, Lin said. Precision medicine, including brain science, and space technology are priorities for the ministry, which would announce the projects soon, Lin added.
