We are pleased to formally acknowledge the generous donation from PE Limited (Petex), which has provided the Department of Geosciences at National Taiwan University with 10 academic licenses of the MOVE Suite software. The total commercial value of this software package is £2,506,898.78, approximately 100 million New Taiwan Dollars (NTD).

The MOVE Suite provides a powerful platform for geological modeling, offering advanced tools for 2D and 3D structural analysis, cross-section restoration, fault kinematics, geomechanics, and more. Its integration into our department’s educational and research environment will significantly enhance our capacity to train students and conduct high-quality, non-profit academic research.

These licenses will be utilized in a wide range of Master’s and Ph.D.-level courses and non-commercial research, including but not limited to, structural geology and tectonics, fault-related fold analysis and cross-section balancing, subsurface structural interpretation for geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage (CCS) site characterization, regional stress field reconstruction and basin evolution studies.

We have reviewed and fully agreed to the terms outlined in Petex’s “Educational Licenses” document. This donation reflects Petex’s outstanding commitment to supporting geoscience education and research worldwide. We are deeply grateful for their support, which will directly benefit both students and researchers in our academic community.
