The NTU Raymond Soong Chair Professorship of Distinguished Research has been established since 2023 through the generous endowment of Mr. Raymond Soong, founder of Lite-On Group. The program is jointly promoted in collaboration with the TAIWAN BRIDGES Program, co-organized by National Taiwan University (NTU) and Academia Sinica, in partnership with twelve leading academic and research institutions in Taiwan and the International Peace Foundation (IPF). From 2025 to 2026, the program will invite 31 Nobel Laureates to Taiwan, building bridges between world-class academic research and social dialogue.
