Courtesy Visit to National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei, Taiwan)

On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, President Yoshikazu Miyanaga and Vice President Masatoshi Suzuki paid a courtesy visit to National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech) in Taipei, Taiwan.
 

National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech) is one of Taiwan’s leading universities in science and engineering. Its origins date back to the Taipei Technical School established by the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office, giving the university a history of nearly 100 years. Since its reorganization as a university in 1994, Taipei Tech has continued to develop as a major institution for higher education and research in engineering and technology. The university currently comprises six colleges and graduate schools, with approximately 460 faculty members and around 14,000 students. Taipei Tech is also highly active in international collaboration and maintains academic partnership agreements with more than 350 institutions worldwide.
 

The delegation first visited the Office of International Affairs at Taipei Tech, where they met with President Yi-Jun Jen prior to the start of the meeting. During the visit, commemorative gifts were exchanged, after which President Jen guided the delegation on a tour of the Taipei Tech Red Building, formerly known as the Taipei Technical School Red Building. Constructed in 1912, the building is the oldest structure on campus and is regarded as a symbolic landmark representing the origins of industrial and technical education in Taiwan.
 

Following the campus tour, the delegation returned to the Office of International Affairs for discussions on future international collaboration and academic exchange. Professor Chuan-Ming Liu, Dean of the Office of International Affairs, joined the meeting. During the discussions, both universities introduced their respective institutions and exchanged views on opportunities for future cooperation.
 

President Jen expressed Taipei Tech’s strong interest in promoting active international collaboration between the two universities. In response, our university welcomed the proposal and expressed its intention to further strengthen academic exchange and cooperation. Professor Liu also agreed to provide a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a foundation for future international partnership activities.
