The Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan (hereinafter EPA) is
the authority in charge of the nation’s environmental policies and regulations. Office of
Sustainable Development, an affiliated body, is responsible for management and
promotion of various eco-friendly technology research projects. The office plays a
significant role through programs of support to help collect data, control & evaluate
research projects, and make policies. After a slow start, many innovative ideas are
implemented as part of a mix of policies. In this vein, environmental policy has embraced
the approach of sustainable development where economic and social factors are
considered alongside the environment.
This paper works on 6 major categories as below: (1) Drawing up Regulations on
Review of Environmental Technology R&D Projects and Mid-term Essentials 2011-2014,
(2) Conducting Quality Management on Promoting and Advancing Environmental
Technology Plan 2009, (3) Marking out Added-value Promotion on EPA Technological
Achievement, (4) Handling administrative support on The State-of-the-art
Nanotechnology R&D Project 2009, (5) Environmental Technology Innovation R&D
Project 2009, (6) Better Format and Layout for Report Preparation on Commissioned
Projects. Through implementation of these projects, the aims are to extract the constructive proposition out of industry, authorities, academic as well as institutions, and
bring on an assortment of a broad consensus that alternatives to technological innovation,
knowledge and regulation be considered wherever possible to deliver policy more
efficiently and effectively.
The key outcomes from this project to address are: (1) collecting and compiling
data of major environmental technology advancements and policies available on websites
from industrialized countries, such as the European Union, USA and Canada, (2) revision
of “Direction for Research Projects Commissioned by EPA”, (3) amending format and
layout for the mid-term/final report on commissioned projects, (4) disposition of key
performance indicators (KPI), (5) compiling “EPA Database for Technology Projects &
Air Pollution Funds 2008” and editing DVD for the achievements, (6) providing
assistance to hold 10 seminars on “The State-of-the-art Nanotechnology R&D Project”
and 14 seminars on “Environmental Technology Innovation R&D Project”, (7)
explaining The Guide to Grants Appropriation for Environmental Technology Innovation
R&D Project, (8) working out the structure for Mid-term Policy Stretegy 2011-2014,
holding “the Symposium of Project Coordinators”, “the Symposium of Regulation and
Risk Management on the Nanotechnogy Industry”, and “the Environmental Technology
Forum”. With the completed work, the present EPA scientific project regulation
guidelines were improved, the environmental research project outcomes in prior years
have been introduced to the public, and there have been also the transformation from pure
scientific reasearches to industrial practices; the “value-adding” object of the EPA
scientific researches has been achieved. A complete elaboration covered in this summary
can be found in this report, which serves to drive the successive projects more effective.
