The Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER), founded in 1968, is a government agency dedicated to atomic energy and radioactive applications. The vision of INER is to provide complete technical solutions for national energy security, environmental protection and national health. Meeting the needs of the national energy policy development, the INER has expanded its researches in recent years to the development of new and renewable energy, energy conservation and carbon reduction, in addition to participating in economic policy research. Results of these endeavors have received high recognition.

In corporation with the government organization reform, the Nuclear Energy Institute will now be a subsidiary of the "Ministry of Economic and Energy Affairs" under a new name -the Institute of Energy Research. We will continue to assist the government in the implementation of Taiwan’s energy policies --- assuring nuclear safety and waste reduction, building up green energy and low carbon environment, working toward a nuclear-free homeland. Reorganization signifies a new start and new mission for us. Our goals remain to improve on professional knowledge, innovation and service in order to provide the best solutions to energy related issues and to contribute to the future development of the country.

In addition to technological research on nuclear energy development and applications, we have gained remarkable achievements in the fields of new energy, renewable energy and radiation application research and development. A number of the accomplishments are provided as follows:

Achieving high recognitions in the Taipei International Invention and Technology Trade Show in 2011, 2012, and 2013: For three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013, the Nuclear Energy Institute won a total of twenty-nine high honors for its projects at this venue: one platinum, thirteen gold, three silver and twelve copper prizes......
