About National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University was created in 2021 through the merger of two universities: National Yang-Ming University and National Chiao Tung University.

Yang Ming, which focused on biomedical research, and Chiao Tung, which focused on electronic communication research, were both top-tier universities in Taiwan. At present, there are 19 colleges and 74 university/college-level research centers. Faculties include artificial intelligence and green energy, biological science and technology, computer science, dentistry, humanity and social science, Hakka studies, law, life sciences, medicine, nursing, management, and general education. Thus, it is imagined that the merger will eventually bring forth a great and innovative university that is second to none, with 1,400 teachers and 17,000 students collaborating to create a great generation that will develop and further Taiwan’s emerging smart medical industry. 

In addition to implementing effective integration and innovation under the conventional organizational structure of regular teaching, research, administration, and student affairs, NYCU is singularly unique as it will establish Taiwan’s most innovative smart medical research. NYCU will combine the strengths of Yang Ming and Chiao Tung to jointly develop medical applications in terms of AI, telemedicine, medical robots, the Internet of Things, wearable devices, and blockchain biomedical as an Eco-system amongst other developments. NYCU’s teaching mission will promote the development of a common language for disseminating cutting-edge information via in-depth communication between medical experts and offer a doctor-engineer course oriented towards resolving the needs of individuals and society. The newly-merged educational institute will also consider privacy protection, assist with revising the relevant medical-related laws and regulations, and study the impact of tangential yet still important issues affecting society, including ethics, economics, and the labor market. Furthermore, NYCU will formulate innovative medical protocols via the establishment of standardization, accuracy, acquisition, storage, and processing of medical big data, while integrating various management platforms to concurrently build up the compatibility of medical IT systems. This will create a world-class base for initiating a smart and healthy life to cement Taiwan as the new model for global smart medical care.

As the era of AI approaches and human beings pursue a healthier life, NYCU, combined with expertise in biomedicine and electronic communications, will cultivate high-quality talent and provide creative solutions. It is hoped that in the short term, its ranking will advance among the top 100 world universities, and within the next decade or two, it will establish itself as the world’s leading hub for education and research for a smart and healthy life. As such, graduates from its doctoral program will be sought out by top universities in the world, helping to nurture Nobel-level scholars as well as the unicorn-level digital biomedical industry.

The aging population has resulted in a crisis in the medical care system. There is a great opportunity to solve the crisis with the combination of electronic information technology and medical care, especially in regard to the integration of Artificial Intelligence and biomedicine. The two are existing strengths of Taiwan and indispensable in Taiwan’s approach to the next industry stage. It is thus our belief the creation of NYCU is the critical pathway to this promising future.
