From December 9th to 13th, 2024, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) was part of a significant visit to the Kyushu region. The visit, which involved a group of 45 representatives from 12 Taiwanese universities (members of the University Academic Alliance in Taiwan, UAAT), was aimed at fostering international collaboration. The visit included a collaboration meeting and 2 sessions of the UAAT Fair. It was based on the Memorandum of Understanding on International Cooperation between UAAT and KOOU (Kyushu Okinawa Open University), of which the four Japanese Universities mentioned are members.

In addition, as the Organizing University of the Integrated Collaboration Project on Sciences, Chair Prof. Sun-Yuan Hsieh, Vice President for International Affairs, presented the overview, details on collaboration activities, and, most importantly, the exciting future partnerships of the Integrated Collaboration Project. He also mentioned that NCKU will revisit the Kyushu region from December 16th to December 20th, bringing coordinating universities and key partners to visit coordinating universities in KOOU to discuss details on integrated collaboration projects on science. This forward-looking approach to collaboration was well-received in the lively panel discussion, which focused on enhancing bilateral scientific research on Space Technology Exploration, Advanced Green Energy Technology Development, and talent cultivation to leverage the expertise of Taiwanese and Japanese Scholars to create a lasting partnership. Around 100 students and 50 faculty and staff members at Nagasaki University participated in the UAAT Fair, further solidifying the potential of these future partnerships.
The University Academic Alliance in Taiwan originated from the Taiwan-U.S. education initiative. Both parties take reciprocity as the principle and combine industrial strength to jointly participate in talent cultivation, research and development of innovative technologies, and industry-university cooperation, which enhances the visibility and influence of Taiwan's higher education in the international community.
