NCNU's academic exchange network stimulates interdisciplinary sharing and collaboration, such as discussing the green economy and local creation issues with Japan's National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies and Niigata University, holding digital conferences on computer animation with Meiji University and Kansai University in Japan, and discussing post-disaster reconstruction with Shinshu University. NCNU has also participated in constructing water purification facilities in rural Cambodia and holds international education forums and seminars frequently to strengthen academic research.
The uniqueness of the NCNU community is reflected in the governance of school affairs and cross-disciplinary teaching design. The university focuses on aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, high-quality teaching, industrial innovation, infrastructure, inequality reduction, peace and justice, water and sanitation management, consumption, and production. NCNU’s efforts were recently recognized by the World University Rankings, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.
