History
The NSTC was originally established as the National Council on Science Development on 1 February 1959.[2]
In 1967, it was renamed to National Science Council (NSC; Chinese: 國家科學委員會; pinyin: Guójiā Kēxué Wěiyuánhuì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-ka Kho-ha̍k Úi-oân-hōe).
The NSC became the Ministry of Science and Technology on 3 February 2014.[3][4]
Pursuant to the Act for Adjustment of Functions and Organizations of the Executive Yuan, as proposed by the Executive Yuan in March 2021,[5] and approved by the Legislative Yuan in December 2021,[6] the Ministry of Science and Technology was reorganized as a ministry-level council named National Science and Technology Council starting 26 July 2022.[7]
