「台灣人工智慧台灣研發中心-台灣境內大專院校碩博士班在校生實習方案」方案說明

按經濟部技術處「A+企業創新研發淬鍊計畫 - 全球研發創新夥伴計畫」係以產業政策為導向，盤點我國產業研發能力升級之缺口與需求，連結我國業者與具有互補互利關係之外國企業建立合作夥伴關係，在國內共同研發。

「台灣人工智慧台灣研發中心」係經台灣微軟股份有限公司(下稱台灣微軟)依法申請，並獲經濟部同意依「A+企業創新研發淬鍊計畫 - 全球研發創新夥伴計畫」提供補助款之特定期間政府科技專案計畫(下稱專案計畫)。

「台灣人工智慧台灣研發中心」依經濟部「A+企業創新研發淬鍊計畫 - 全球研發創新夥伴計畫」審核同意之專案計畫內容，其中包括將延攬多位本國研發人才，進行人工智慧人才培育，以期結合國內產學研發人才，共同提升台灣人工智慧研發之能量與影響力，提升國內產業國際能見度及國際競爭力。

基於上述專案計畫內容，台灣微軟將依「台灣人工智慧台灣研發中心-台灣境內大專院校碩博士班在校生實習方案」，聘僱台灣各大專院校符合下列資格之碩博士班在校生，提供限定之實習名額，讓青年學子能有機會於世界級科技公司之人工智慧研發現場，以職場實作之方式進行實習。

然而，為能嘉惠較多之本土學界人工智慧人才，並考量碩博士在校生仍須兼顧學業，「台灣人工智慧台灣研發中心-台灣境內大專院校碩博士班在校生實習方案」之實習期間，最長不超過1年。
