Winner in National R&D field, Taiwan

    Hamilton Cheng has won a National R&D Award for Collaboration between Academy and Industry in Taiwan. He is the first ever winner from the humanities and social sciences since this award was inaugurated in 1996, and was recognized by a Triple Selective Committee consisting of delegates from university, industry and government. The Taiwanese Ministry of Education calls doctoral students nationwide to submit any proof of reward, royalty, or patent contributed to industry through their research for the annual competition. Cheng, a Ph.D. in Communications, using strategy and policy adoption on digital broadcasting service, showed how to coordinate the research findings of Journalism Department, National Chengchi University with the programme of Taiwan Public Television Service (PTS). As a result, their collaboration helped PTS to receive a National Five Year Grant of USD $36,000,000 to develop Taiwan’s digital television service from 2003 to 2007. Cheng’s application was appreciated for this. On December 30, 2004, Dr. Cheng and Professor Fang Chiensan, his Thesis Advisor, each received a medal and a cash prize of $ 75,000 (equal to CAD $4,000) for their accomplishment. It assisted Taiwan broadcasting industry to realize the enlarged vision of digital video broadcasting (terrestrial, DVBT) in general and public service broadcasting in particular.

 

Hamilton Cheng graduated from School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University, Canada, and is a supporter to Friends of Canadian Broadcasting and World Radio & Television Council in Montreal, and an active member of Public Broadcasters International.
