This project supports the coordination of a series of workshops and meetings to explore deeper scientific collaborations between researchers from Taiwan and researchers in the United States in areas related to Smart & Connected Communities and related disciplines. The meetings will be arranged in conjunction with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in the United States. A significant challenge with international collaboration is to go beyond the matchmaking phase, in order to encourage deeper collaboration that could lead to new discoveries.The proposed effort takes place over several distinct phases: (1) a virtual meeting between US and Taiwanese participants, aimed at discovering opportunities to start meaningful collaborations that could result in deeper engagement; (2) international collaboration through existing funding mechanisms, based on exchange of data or replication of results to build confidence in collaboration mechanisms; (3) an in-person workshop that allows collaborating teams to present their efforts from Phase 2; and (4) planning for funded engagements between researchers based on promising lines of inquiry.The virtual workshop explores, over 2 evenings, similarities between efforts taking place in Taiwan and the United States along the lines of Smart & Connected Communities, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Smart Agriculture. This (virtual) workshop will include a discussion of the scope of the collaboration led by NSF and TECRO, brief introductions of researchers, and then breakout sessions where researchers explore how their research could be deepened through cross-pacific collaboration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持协调一系列研讨会和会议，以探索台湾研究人员和美国研究人员在智能互联社区及相关学科领域更深入的科学合作。会议将与台北经济文化代表处（TECRO）联合安排。国际合作的一个重大挑战是超越牵线搭桥阶段，以鼓励更深入的合作，从而可能导致新的发现。拟议的努力分几个不同的阶段进行：（1）美国和台湾参与者之间的虚拟会议，旨在发现开始有意义的合作的机会，从而可能导致更深入的参与;（2）通过现有供资机制开展国际合作，以交换数据或复制成果为基础，建立对合作机制的信心;（3）举办面对面研讨会，让合作团队介绍其在第二阶段的工作;以及（4）根据有希望的研究方向规划研究人员之间的资助约定。虚拟研讨会在两个晚上探索了台湾和美国沿着智能&互联社区，网络物理系统和智能农业的相似之处。这个（虚拟）研讨会将包括讨论由NSF和TECRO领导的合作范围，简要介绍研究人员，然后分组会议，研究人员探讨如何通过跨太平洋合作深化他们的研究。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
