The following work items are accomplished based on the project goals: The project executive team assists EPA to conduct technology projects management and administrative support, the work scope includes: (1) preliminary planning of Year 2017 technology projects, (2) reviewing of Year 2016 technology projects and confirmation of the linking and logging of 2016 projects to the GRB information system, (3) evaluation of Year 2015 projects performance, (4) preliminary planning of Year 2018 technology project, (5) updating and maintaining the English and Chinese content of the EPA official website/technology development projects (including sustainable development forum). This project completes the examination of the technology development framework projects of the year 2017, assists to collect technology development framework projects of the year 2017 and submits them to MOST. (A total of 11 EPA technology projects of the year 2017 were submitted. The total budget added up to NTD$219,533M. Approved on the 11th session of Board of Science and Technology, the approved amount was NTD$194,518M, representing a growth of NTD$100,647M than year 2016.) This project draft an “Environmental Protection Administration Regulations for Ownership and Utilization of Scientific and Technological Research and Development Achievements” (draft) referring to the relevant laws and regulations from other governmental departments in order to establish the legal system and to encourage researchers’ morale by effectively utilized the achievements of environmental technology development to the actual environment. This project organizes and holds the “2016 Environment Technology Forum” on 2016/5/24. The 5 panelists of expert discussion talk about the topic of “Application of big data to environmental issues”. With a total of 154 participants, 8 research papers were presented focused on three major themes: “The policy of Environmental Protection and Research Technology”, “Environmental technology collaboration between industry and academy”, “Environment analysis and monitoring”, and 1 lecture on “Smart grid application and household energy-saving”. 2016 Forum was incorporated with electronic questionnaire system, the response rate was 50%. The achievement of the forum was documented to promote EPA’s research achievements.
