The University has achieved remarkable progress in advancing teaching innovation and academic flexibility. Through the establishment of a diversified and flexible curriculum framework—including reduced graduation credits, expanded summer programs, strengthened support for major transfers, double majors and minors, and the launch of numerous interdisciplinary micro-programs—the University has significantly broadened students’ learning pathways. Since joining the Ministry of Education’s Cross-Domain Flexible Learning Pilot Program in 2025 (AY114), 40 professional course modules have been made available, enabling students to earn a Cross-College or University Bachelor’s Degree upon completion of four modules.
The University’s leadership in AI-based education has also yielded notable outcomes. Under the coordination of the College of Intelligent Computing, AI applications have been systematically integrated across disciplines, with 61 faculty engagements, 62 AI-related courses, and 10 TAICA alliance courses enhancing students’ digital literacy on a broad scale. High-fidelity simulation training offered by the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center has further reinforced the University’s distinguished medical education model. Meanwhile, the University’s continued promotion of innovative pedagogies—such as problem-based learning, flipped classrooms, off-campus internships, and practitioner-led courses—has substantially strengthened students’ practical and entrepreneurial competencies. Collaborative initiatives with leading global industries, including the establishment of the Memory Technology Program, Advanced IC Design Education Center, and Advanced Semiconductor Equipment Course, have produced robust industry talent pipelines. The University has also expanded its EMI bilingual curriculum, EAP/ESP pathways, and TA training, driving continuous improvement in students’ bilingual proficiency.
To strengthen the University’s global connectivity and enhance students’ international mobility, CGU has actively expanded its partnerships with world-renowned academic institutions—such as the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Yonsei University (Korea), and King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (Thailand). Through these collaborations, the University has successfully implemented dual-degree programs, student exchange initiatives, and overseas internship opportunities, thereby providing students with broadened access to global learning pathways. Supported by funding under the Internationalization Chapter, the University has continued and further expanded flagship initiatives such as “CGU x Go International” and “Luncheon Talk: Go Abroad!”, while also strengthening the International Student Host Family Program and group outdoor cultural immersion activities. These programs facilitate substantive and meaningful cultural exchange between faculty, staff, domestic students, and international students. A diverse array of activities—such as Baseball Culture Experience Day, Paintball & BBQ: Fun Together, the Mid-Autumn Festival Pastry-Making Workshop, and international student club engagement events—has enabled international students to gain deep insights into Taiwan’s baseball culture, appreciate the cultural significance of traditional festivals, and experience the vibrancy of local student organizations. These initiatives have significantly enhanced the depth of interaction between international students and the CGU community and have established a strong and effective platform for intercultural engagement. Collectively, these efforts have successfully fostered a rich multicultural learning environment, strengthened students’ cross-cultural communication competencies, and expanded their global perspectives, demonstrating substantial progress in advancing the University’s internationalization goals.
The University continues to demonstrate strong leadership in realizing social responsibility and sustainable development. In 2025, the University secured four Ministry of Education–funded USR projects (two Sprout-type and two Enhancement-type), amounting to NT$21.25 million, advancing health care, cultural preservation, and community support across Guishan, Linkou, Taoyuan, and Fuxing Districts. Through long-term community engagement and collaborative partnerships, the University has effectively promoted community well-being and regional sustainability.
In teaching innovation and sustainability education, the University has successfully built a “Foundation–Specialization–Capstone” cross-domain curriculum grounded in USR sites, and launched micro-programs integrating ESG, SDGs, and AI literacy to cultivate cross-disciplinary sustainability talent. The University’s achievements have been widely recognized, earning prestigious distinctions including the Global Views Magazine USR Awards—Excellence Award (Sustainability Report Category) and Model Award (Well-Being Co-Existence Category)—as well as one Gold and two Silver awards in the TSAA Asia-Pacific and Taiwan Sustainability Actions Awards. In sustainable campus governance, the University has completed digital transformation of greenhouse gas inventory data and advanced solar and energy storage system development, significantly enhancing campus energy resilience and carbon reduction capacity in its transition toward a green university.
The University’s industry–academia performance has reached new heights. Major research centers have actively contributed to global initiatives—including the Cancer Moonshot Program, CREID emerging virus network, global Parkinson’s disease collaboration with the University of Southern California, international immunology partnerships, and sustainable materials development with Kobe University—substantially elevating the University’s international research presence. The recruitment of renowned scholars such as Professor Siamon Gordon (Academia Europaea), Academician Wu Tzu-Hou, Academician Hsing-Chien Kung, Professor Yi-Min She (Johns Hopkins University), and Professor Chun-Chih Tung (University of Tokyo) has further strengthened the University’s leadership in immunology, translational medicine, and semiconductor materials research.
The University’s global academic impact continues to excel, ranking 257th worldwide and 3rd nationally in the CWTS Leiden Ranking (Scientific Impact), and 87th globally and 1st nationally in Biomedical and Health Sciences. In 2025, 62 faculty members were listed among the annual Top 2% Scientists (Scientific Impact), and 53 among the lifetime ranking, placing the University 5th nationwide. Industry–academia performance remains outstanding, with NT$54.5 million in technology transfer revenue and NT$100 million in collaborative projects. The University has also supported 11 commercialization projects, resulting in 5 spin-off companies, while 2 additional teams under Sprout grants are preparing for future spin-offs. A total of 4 student teams achieved U-Start outstanding performance and have successfully founded new startups.
The University has made substantial progress in enhancing the public value of higher education. The University continues to expand opportunities for economically disadvantaged students through guaranteed admission quotas and comprehensive support measures. Through the advisor care network, approximately 1,000 counseling engagements are provided annually. From 2023–2024, the University awarded 2,332 financial aid grants, totaling over NT$13.51 million. To strengthen services for Indigenous students, the University established the Indigenous Student Resource Center, officially approved and launched in September 2025, with dedicated Indigenous personnel providing systematic support services.
To further improve institutional governance and operational efficiency, the University has advanced evidence-based decision-making through the development of 44 institutional performance dashboards, integrating diverse data sources to support continuous improvement. The University also assists academic and administrative units in applying the PDCA quality management framework aligned with key HEP initiatives, ensuring ongoing refinement and sustainable development.
