All were very impressed.

On Jan 16, Dr. Gusev gave a lecture at the Institute of Chemistry of Academia Sinica. The topic is "New notions regarding the three-dimensional matrix of chemical elements and predicting 100 new elements". Director Yu-ju Chen host the delegation and presided over the speech. The delegation also interacted with former President of the Academia Sinica Yuan T. Lee and Chi-Huey Wong.

On the evening of the same day, Dr. Gusev met with members of TCIAE and granted certificates to prof. K. N. Chiang (academician), prof. Ching-Jong Liao (corresponding member), prof. Shan-hui Hsu (corresponding member). Then Dr. Gusev granted award medals to President of TCIAE Jenn-Chuan Chern (Engineering Glory), prof. Chao-Ming Fu (Gold Award), prof. Yun Yen (Engineering Valor), prof. Wen-Hua Chen (Engineering Valor), prof. Ta-Peng Chang (Golden Honor Sign), and Dr. Jui-Chen Wang (Golden Honor Sign) for their significant contributions to the development of scientific and technological cooperation between Russia and Taiwan, and positively participating in the activities of TCIAE.

On Jan 17, the delegation went to National Taiwan University of Science and Technology to give a lecture. There were participants from the university, and the engineering community. The President Ching-Jong Liao hosted the delegation and discussed exchange student program and technology cooperation.

Various activities were successfully completed on 1/17 and the delegation left on 1/18.

Dr. Michael Ugrumov (president of the Russian Society for Neurochemistry) and Dr. Goncharova (president of the Union of Women Doctors of Russia) came to Taipei at the invitation of the Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry to deliver a lecture in the MEDTEX Summit Asia, one of the most important events taking place in the 2019 Healthcare Expo Taiwan.

Dr. Ugrumov and Dr. Goncharova visit TCIAE and Tang Prize Foundation on 6 December. As a neurologist, Dr. Ugrumov was particularly intrigued by the contributions of TCIAE served as a major platform to assist academia, governmental and industrial circles with the role of NGO to promote the scientific and technological exchanges among Taiwan, Russia and IAE branches (C.I.S. Countries), while Dr. Goncharova put special stress on the importance of collaboration between Taiwan and Russia through TCIAE.

Professor Vadim LEBIGA, executive director of International Center of Aero-physical Research and Main Scientific Researcher of ITAM SB RAS led the delegation to visit Taiwan during Nov 20 to 27. The delegation includes Sergey ZAKOVRYASHIN (Head of Foreign Department of SB RAS) and Aleksei MISHIN (Junior Scientific Researcher of ITAM SB RAS).

On September 12, 2019, SB RAS voted to grant the honorary doctorate of Dr. Yen-Liang Yin (known as Samuel Yin), the vice president of International Academy of Engineering (IAE) and the founder of Taiwan Chapter of International Academy of Engineering (TCIAE). The purpose of delegation is mainly to visit Dr. Samual Yin, and invite him to attend a grand ceremony in Siberia next spring. Professor Lebiga explained that SB RAS was established 60 years ago, and it was awarded only 24 honorary doctors, included 5 doctors this time.

During this trip, they also visited the National center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), Tang prize Foundation, Nanshan Plaza, and the new Library of NCCU, and participated in academic activities.

Ping Tserng Hui (Secretary-General of TCIAE) and Raymond Wang (Vice president of Runtex Construction and Engineering Co., Ltd).

The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) announced on 4 December names of the 168 inventors around the world selected as its 2019 fellows, among whom Dr. Samuel Yin, founder of the Tang Prize Foundation and innovative chairman of the Ruentex Group, together with Dr. Fu-Tong Liu, vice president of Academia Sinica, are the two Taiwanese receiving this great honor.

Dr. Yin is known for integrating theories and practice to develop unique ways of making steel reinforced concrete and to devise a combination of precision precast technologies. Over the past decades, he has been making a series of crucial breakthroughs for the community of civil engineering. Many of his inventions have been incorporated into the seismic design codes in Taiwan and China as well as been used in constructing high-tech facilities and buildings. The huge differences they have made to the world can’t be ignored.

So far, 574 of Dr. Yin’s inventions have been patented in Taiwan, China, America, Japan, Europe and Great Britain and have also been allowed for fair use in different countries to improve standards of living and ensure greater safety by using fewer building materials. Moreover, among the 95 patents he decided to open up to the pubic, 19 of them are for people in Taiwan and America, and 7 of them have benefited those in China.

Renowned and respected all over the world for his expertise in civil engineering, Dr. Yin has won numerous academic honors, including the Henry L. Michel Award for Industry Advancement of Research from American Society of Civil Engineers, Life Achievement Award from the Chinese American Academic and Professional Society, the Engineering Prowess Award from the Russian Academy of Engineering, the International Engineering Academy Star of Fame Order from the Russian Academy of Engineering, elected academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, gold medal of the National Invention and Creation Award from Taiwan's Ministry of Economics, the Outstanding Entrepreneur Chair Honor from the College of Engineering at National Taiwan University, elected member of the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, the Outstanding Contribution Award from the Chinese Taiwan Society for Earthquake Engineering, and the Best Academic Paper Award from the Chinese Institute of Engineers. In September 2019, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and this honor from the National Academy of Inventors is only the cherry on the cake.

In addition to his achievements in civil engineering, Dr. Yin has been making conscientious efforts in various fields of education. He founded the Tang Prize with the vision of recognizing people whose original research findings have made great contributions to society. Thus, the prize is intended to be an important agent for the sustainable development of human civilization.

Every year, inventors and innovative scholars from research universities, government departments or non-profit scientific institutes around the world will be honored by the NAI. Together, these NAI fellows claim more than 41,500 US patents, which have created more than 11,000 authorized technologies and companies, provided more than 36 million jobs, and generated incomes of more than 1.6 billion US dollars.
