YunTech’s external social practice promotion lies in “gathering R&D strength” in “local” issues and “multi-field practice” “everywhere in Taiwan’s” strongholds. To achieve this goal, we have continued to expand the ratio of teacher participation in the school every year, encourage more teachers and students to participate, and create more teaching and practical momentum. The method is as follows:
Five aspects of USR cooperation, a total of 53 items.

Under the concept of “technology, art, and humanities” development and integration, the School has established an Art Center to cultivate and enhance the artistic and cultural atmosphere on campus. The goal is to actively promote and improve general art education and strengthen the quality of art and humanities performances and activities. The intensive cultivation of the art center and the support of the school provides an art and cultural space for teachers, students, and the community to cultivate students with humanistic and artistic talents. The art center, resident artists, and various school units collaborate to plan numerous creative public arts in the school and present a campus art culture that combines modern art with technology.

In addition to domestic art exhibitions, the school’s Art Center also participates in exchange activities with international art organizations and groups to improve teachers’ and students’ understanding of art culture and enhance the school’s international image. The goal is to internationalize local art, increase the global visibility of the school, and strengthen the soft power environment.

In the future, the school’s Art Center will gradually become a base for co-creation as well as art and culture promotion in the Central District. In addition to combining international academic and cultural relics exchanges, we also want to promote and collect international artifacts that meet the collection development features, create cultural resources within the school, and invite international artists to work on campus. The goal is to organize international workshops, exhibitions, or lectures to generate international perspectives for the school’s teachers and students; build the campus’ aesthetic economy and assets; fulfill the artistic and humanistic blueprint for the school; and transform the campus into the primary communication and interaction platform for teachers, students, artists, and the community.

International Exchange

Sign International Academic Exchange Agreements

As of 2022, we have established 354 sister schools distributed in 39 countries across 5 continents.

Furthermore, our school joined the TAItech Alliance and formed an international alliance with the German HAWtech Alliance. Teachers and students will have more opportunities to travel to Germany for various exchanges in the future.

Teachers Participating in International Exchanges and Visits by Foreign Guests

We encourage departments and institutes to exchange lectures with wellknown foreign schools; to invite foreign experts, scholars, and scientific and technological talents to our school for short-term visits; to exchange seminars and special lectures; to improve the campus’s macro-research atmosphere; and to promote transnational academic research cooperation between colleges, departments, foreign industries, or related research institutions. Teachers are encouraged to apply for grants from the Ministry of Science and Technology or other institutions for cross-border industry-academia cooperation exchanges and professional talent training programs based on special research projects that are currently underway. In 2020 and 2021, the school received 1 grant from the Ministry of Science and Technology for scientific and technical personnel to conduct shortterm research abroad, and the teachers who received the grant went to the United States for short-term study in 2021 and 2022.

In 2020, our school was subsidized by the Ministry of Science and Technology to establish the “Taiwan-Vietnam Environmental Protection Overseas Research Center.” The center is the first for YunTech, which combines technology and academic and technical energy to promote international industry-academia collaboration. In the same year, YunTech jointly established the “Scientific Research Industrialization Platform (Global Research & Industry Alliance [Gloria])” with nine universities in the central and northern regions, which has strengthened the school’s domestic and foreign industry-academia cooperation capacity. Foreign teacher visits can enhance the school’s international visibility and stimulate teaching research and innovation. Continue to promote foreign visits for our teachers to promote the school and related enrollment publicity, facilitate talent introduction, and discuss future cooperation plans with foreign guests.

Students Participating in International Exchanges

Our students have an international perspective because they frequently attend international academic seminars and exchange activities and travel abroad for training at self-expense or the school’s expense. The number of students going abroad for study exchanges has increased each year. Between the 2017 and 2020 academic years, nearly 248 students attended international conferences, 222 students went abroad for short-term studies, and 257 students went overseas for exchanges. Due to COVID-19, the Ministry of Education has ordered the reduction or suspension of various study exchange activities abroad for teachers and students, reducing the number of student exchanges. However, communication via video or other alternative methods was still encouraged. In the future, we will continue to negotiate cooperation with foreign universities, sign agreements on off-site teaching and exchange students, and encourage students from both sides to continue communicating with each other and participate in exchanges or cooperation courses.
