National Ilan University (NIU) is a reputed educational institution in Yilan County. Yilan, located in northeastern Taiwan, is well-known as "Taipei's Backyard" for its dedication to environmental care and protection. People in Taiwan always describe Yilan as a place with "beautiful mountains, pure water, and rich culture." Mother Nature has created countless scenes to behold. The main campus is located in Yilan City, about 50 minutes from Taipei by car.

Academically, the Department of Civil Engineering at NIU is active with regular workshops and conferences that bring together scholars from around the world. In particular, we have innovative building materials in cementless technology (Geopolymer, Cementless Blended Composites, Alkali Activated Materials), green technology (Waste disposal in Civil Materials, Microstructural Properties in Cementitious Materials) and Durability (Permeability, Corrosion Technology, Measurement Technology in Chloride Diffusion) courses offered, which provide students with more chances to get into the field of 3D printing technology in civil engineering. Nowadays, there is a noticeable trend of growing energy and materials-related development, significantly impacting everyone’s daily life. Studying green materials in civil engineering can help promote the quality of human life and make the environment friendly.

Via the TEEP/AsiaPlus program, I offer short-term (2-6 months) scholarships to qualified students with a monthly stipend of up to 15000 TWD for studying at NIU. The students will be guided by the professor (Wei-Ting Lin) in cementless materials personally and participate in projects, courses, and academic activities related to 3D printing technology of green materials in civil engineering. (Note: The NIU accommodation fee is 160TWD per day.) International students are responsible for their accommodation fee (160 TWD/day) and administration fee (4500 TWD for two months or 10000 TWD for six months).
