	March 15th 2011	To cooperate more closely in fostering information exchange and other activities to help advance photonics research, Professor, the Chairman Ching-Fuh Lin and Professor, the executive director Satoshi Kawata have signed the COOPERATION AGREEMENT between Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics (GIPO), National Taiwan University and Photonics Advanced Research Center (PARC), Osaka University. The cooperation agreement signing ceremony took place at the Opening session of the INTERNATIONAL NANO-PHOTONICS SYMPOSIUM at NTU, Taipei with President of NTU (Prof. Lee) and Dean of EECS College (Prof. Lee) in attendance (photos). Under the agreement, GIPO and PARC will establish joint activities to enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge and cultural traditions at the global level and seek to engage in the future in the following types of cooperation: Exchange of faculty and students for research, teaching and study and Joint research activities.
	January 27th 2011	Prof. Kawata delivered the "Masters of Science Lecture" entitled "Nano with light: plasmonics as a new functional photonics" January 27, 2011 at Hsinchu Science Park, Instrument Technology Research Center Conference Hall. The lecture was jointly sponsored by the IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Taipei Section Chapter. To cooperate more closely in fostering information exchange and other activities to help advance photonics research, Professor Din Ping Tsai and Professor Satoshi Kawata have signed the COOPERATION AGREEMENT between Instrument Technology Research Center, National Applied Research Laboratories, Taiwan (ITRC) and Photonics Advanced Research Center (PARC), Osaka University. The cooperation agreement signing ceremony between PARC and ITRC was successfully completed on 27 January 2011 at Hsinchu City (photos). Under the agreement, ITRC and PARC will establish joint activities to enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge and cultural traditions at the global level and seek to engage in the future in the following types of cooperation: Exchange of faculty and students for research, teaching and study and Joint research activities.
	January 12th 2011	Professor Xuan-Ming Duan and Dr. Meiling Zheng at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) visited Photonics Center, Osaka University. The photo shows, from the left, Prof. Kawata, the executive director, Kyoko Masui a graduate student, Dr. Meiling Zheng at CAS and Prof. Duan. The double degree program has been executed by the postgraduate cooperation and education programs between the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, CAS. Meiling Zheng acquired the degree (engineering) from Osaka University in September, 2010. She already acquired the degree (science) in China, and thus is the first student who completes the double degree program between Osaka University and CAS. Kyoko Masui also executes the double degree program.
