The Director also provided working holiday information which is of the most interest to young people. Taiwan annually issues one-year working holiday visas to a maximum of 75 Austrians aged 18 to 30 and vice versa.

Director Rudorfer took a walking tour of the campus and the office of the Department of German with Director Chia-Pin Chang and students of the Department of German before the speech. He gave nearly 20 classic works of literature which have won the Austrian Book Prize (Österreichischer Buchpreis) as a present to enrich the collection of the Learning Resource Center of the Department of German for offering self-learning materials to students.
