2014 Orange Technology and Happiness International Forum and Exhibition was held on October 3 at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, with nearly one hundred experts from America, Singapore and Taiwan to explore issues related to happiness and well-being.
The event was hosted by Dr. Jhing-Fa Wang who is the president of Tajen University and also a chair professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering at NCKU.
Proposed by Dr. Wang in 2009, the idea of Orange Technology is an interdisciplinary research area. Since then, global attention was called on among scientists, economists, psychologist, sociologist, engineers, and all the other experts to examine national happiness.
Prof. Jeffrey David Sachs, an American economist and director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University, was invited to give a talk on Happiness Economy and National Development.
Prof. Chi-Yue Chiu from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, also gave a talk on Happiness Psychology.
The General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed March 20 the International Day of Happiness, recognizing the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals, according to Wang.
He also said, To promote happiness, we have to come up with some feasible plans and strategies, otherwise it is nothing more than a slogan.
In the forum, a total of seven speakers including Jhing-Fa Wang, Jeffrey David Sachs, Chi-Yue Chiu, Shyh-Nan Liou, and Ta-Wen Kuan, were invited to share their research findings.
Outside the forum, several exhibition boots were set up to showcase the latest research results regarding Orange Technology.
