Science & Technology Law Institute (STLI) |
| In 1989, with a view to helping Taiwanese
industries to improve their international competitiveness,
the Institute for Information Industry (III) established
an "Information Law Research Unit" within its
Market Information Center (MIC). Soon it became clear
that there was much demand for the capabilities of this
Unit. Accordingly on March 1, 1996, with the support of
the Ministry of Economic Affairs, this Unit was formally
expanded to become the independent Science & Technology
Law Center (STLC).
The STLC was created to complement the formulation
of national economic policies. It provides a venue for
government and industries to collaborate, so as to create
a comprehensive legal environment that nurtures Taiwan's
hi-tech advancement and industrial applications. It
also conducts preliminary research in pioneering areas
of science and technology law, which enables the government
to draft or revise related laws and policies, hence
removing legal barriers to technological advancement.
These research results will then enhance the responsiveness
of Taiwanese technology businesses to the law, and help
them to realize their full potential.
The STLC is the first body in Taiwan to be dedicated
to science and technology law research. Since its establishment,
it has headed or participated in a great number of research
projects concerning the development of Taiwanese technology
laws, offering solutions to issues arising from the
existing system. The STLC bears a heavy responsibility
- that of building the legal infrastructure that will
shape future industrial development in Taiwan. It is
a responsibility that each and every member of the STLC
honors, and we will work together towards realizing
this vision.
