Tsing Hua College:
The university actively participates in international collaborations for data gathering and measurement related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Examples include:
- Contributing sustainability data to global initiatives such as UI GreenMetric and Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, covering energy use, water management, carbon reduction, and social impact indicators;
- Collaborating with international research institutions on comparative studies addressing climate change, sustainable education, and community development, supporting the construction of SDG indicator databases;
- Regularly submitting environmental and social sustainability data for inclusion in global SDG monitoring and assessment reports.
Through these collaborations, the university enhances data transparency and contributes to evidence-based policymaking for global sustainable development.
Office of Global Affairs, OGA:
NTHU continues to advance the digitization and optimization of processes, and enhances data gathering and management through cross-unit collaboration. In 2025, NTHU further improved the integration and reporting of sustainability-related data, gradually enhancing transparency and alignment with international standards. All these efforts strengthen NTHU’s collaboration and exchange at the international level, and create more opportunities for sustainable research partnerships.
Yes. NTHU works on the digitization of processes (assignment methods and student management) and defines the processes by creating technical sheets. In 2024, NTHU optimized the SOP/announcement for students and faculty. All the effort can facilitate NTHU as a clear image in the digital world and create much more possibilities to access.
Operations Center for Industry Collaboration:
Yes. In August 2024, members of the Industry-Academia Collaboration Center team visited the HEZPA Industrial Zone Administration in Vietnam to sign an agreement with Tan Thuan Corporation (TTC) as an international member. The contract took effect on November 1, 2024. The Center will continue to promote collaboration among the Tsing Hua Five-University Alliance technical teams to support local traditional industries in technological upgrading, facilitate international industry-academia cooperation projects, and develop training programs in semiconductors and ESG.
College of Engineering:
The Institute of NanoEngineering and Microsystems (NEMS) has established strong international collaborations with many world-renowned research teams. One notable example is the five-year Sweden-Taiwan Collaborative Research Framework Project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), which represents the first large-scale multinational research collaboration between Taiwan and Sweden.
This project focuses on the development of scalable, fully integrated CMOS nanopore biosensors. Our institute contributes to the design and development of high-speed, multi-channel front-end readout circuits for these sensors. The research data and outcomes are expected to make significant contributions to the sustainable development of future biomolecular research.
College of Technology Management:

▪️In 2024, Professor Ching-Fu Lin of the ILST was elected as the Co-Chair of the "International Law and Technology Interest Group" (ILTechIG) of the American Society of International Law. The interest group enables legal scholars and practitioners around the world to exchange ideas on the impact of technology on their work, as well as how law can and should respond to technological developments and promote sustainable development goals.

▪️Professor Ching-Fu Lin of the ILST visited Professor Yoshiko Naiki of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies at Nagoya University on May 26, 2024, and held a meeting on global governance and digital technology. Under the topic of "How Digital Infrastructure (Re)Configures Environmental Sustainability: 'Thinking Infrastructurally' toward International Smart City Projects" the two professors plan to jointly explore and analyze the complex interrelationships between digital technology and environmental sustainability, and the former's impact on the later, in the context of smart cities.
Office of Alumni Service and · Resources Development:
The NTHU Alumni Association and Alumni Center contribute to international collaboration on SDG-related data gathering through their extensive global alumni network. Currently, there are 39 overseas alumni associations or liaison offices and 27 domestic alumni associations, which maintain close ties with the university.
The Alumni Association supports NTHU’s research teams and alumni communities by facilitating access to overseas information and resources. These international connections—particularly in the areas of cross-border exchanges, educational outreach, local revitalization, and social impact—serve as a valuable basis for international collaboration and provide supportive data and insights for sustainability-related studies and reporting.
