📖 Introduction

Established in 1924 as the Kaohsiung District Pingtung Extension School of Agriculture, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) has undergone several restructurings and name changes over the years. The current name was adopted in 1997. The campus is surrounded by picturesque scenery and as a result, NPUST has gained the reputation of being a “National Park University”. There are six separate colleges at NPUST offering a variety of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs.

NPUST has links with 274 universities and colleges in 46 countries through various academic exchanges, faculty and students exchanges, sharing of resources, and joint research opportunities. The Institute educated innumerable scholars for the crews of the widely recognized Taiwan Agricultural Teams and for domestic companies. The achievements not only stabilized the normalization of diplomatic relationships between Taiwan and other countries, but also established a solid foundation for the rapid advancement of Taiwan’s economy.

🏫 About National Pingtung University of Science and Technology

National Pingtung University of Science and Technology’s vast and beautiful 298-hectare campus has earned it the reputation of “national park university” and with a commitment to caring for the environment, NPUST has ranked first in Taiwan on the UI GreenMetric University Ranking seven years in row— and in Asia, in 2020. The arrangement and construction of each campus building were based upon the topography of the campus landscape.

NPUST is a science and technology institution with a long history of more than 80 years. To fulfill the mission of professional education, the Office of Research and Development (ORD) of the university promotes basic research on campus. It encourages our faculty to be involved in industry-academia collaboration. To carry out a variety of services for industry-academia collaboration, we have set up several specialized research centers at the university level or college level on campus and established various technological service centers in academic departments or graduate institutes.

As part of our university R&D policy, the ORD is actively involved in implementing "product-oriented research (POR)." The goal is to devote our faculty's research to meet the industry's needs and the market. The ORD acts as an intermediate between university faculty and industry through the platforms of "patent portfolio," "patent protection," "industry-academia collaboration," and "innovation and incubation," The ORD delivers quintessential academic research to the industry under the conditions of safety, dignity, legitimacy, convenience, and reciprocity to manifest the benefits of intellectual property and assist the industry in their business continuity.
