講題：國家安全，知識移轉，與科技產經政策的制定：以全國生產總需求計畫和工業技術研究院為例（1967-1976）
摘要：本研究以1966年蔣中正總統開始思考設立國家安全會議，成立國家科學委員會，並在國安會議下設置科學發展指導委員會，至1973年工業技術研究院成立的歷史經過為例，說明台灣之工業與科技發展所採用的引進美國技術知識與採納韓國發展模式的策略，並據此指出跨域知識移轉 (knowledge transfer) 和政策的落實所面臨之政經制度限制 (institutional constraint) 之難題。
 
講題：“A Similar Project Being Constructed in Taiwan”: Fertilizer Plant and the US- Taiwan-South Korea Engineering Network during the 1950s
Abstract：When engineering projects for postwar rehabilitation and nation-building flourished in East Asia during the 1950s, national governments and multilateral organizations relied on outsourced engineering expertise for their construction projects. From preliminary planning to post-construction training, every process of the projects provided a market for engineering companies. American engineering companies competitively entered this East Asian market, jumping from one country to another to sell their knowledge services. This presentation takes the construction of fertilizer plants as a case study to demonstrate how American companies carried knowledge, experience, and human networks between Taiwan and South Korea. Using archival sources from the US, Taiwan, and South Korea, this presentation argues that the ground-level interactions of the three countries’ triangular engineering networks shaped the industrial landscape of East Asia.
