※ Value-added services for health information - Research Sub-center of Health Information Application Center at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
The Health Information Application Center, located at the Yang Ming campus, plays a crucial role in providing health data application, value-added services, and statistical model research. It serves as an essential infrastructure for a research-oriented university that prioritizes on emerging interdisciplinary fields in biomedicine.
This service can broaden and deepen the research on big data in health, benefiting multiple research areas including oncology, neuroscience, aging, advanced drug delivery, smart innovative medical materials, and health and welfare policy research.
From 2017 to 2022, the institution’s principal investigators and related research units signed up to use the services provided by the Health Information Application Center, with the annual usage growing from 900 time slots (1 time slot = 4 hours during working hours) to 4400 time slots.

※ Celebrating our second anniversary, witnessing the "transformation" and joy of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University together.
The NYCU Center for Institutional Research and Data Analytics has helped the university to produce a promotional video called “Metamorphosis,” highlighting the university’s dedication toward cultivation of top medical and technological talents. The video emphasized the university’s deep foundation in areas such as medical engineering, brain science, and oncology. It also highlighted the university’s leadership in the fields of electronics, information and communications, management, science, and engineering.
NYCU is committed not only to  academic excellence, but also to the sustainable development of the campus. With the joint efforts of faculty and students, NYCU aims to achieve the global goal of net zero by 2050. In addition, NYCU provides various activities for students, including the annual “Mei-Chu Tournament” for sporting events. Other yearly activities include the school anniversary, semester opening ceremony, and  graduation ceremony.

※ SDG Webinar: 6G Flourishing for a Sustainable Future
During a speech, Professor Wang Li-Chun, the dean of the NYCU College of Electrical and Computer Engineering, emphasized that the most significant sustainability issue facing 6G is the energy consumption of the Radio Access Network (RAN), which accounts for 73% of the total power consumption.
The SDG is highly correlated with 6G, especially in “SDG-1 No Poverty”, “SDG-3 Good Health and Well Being”, “SDG-4 Quality Education”, “SDG-7 Affordable and Clean Energy”, “SDG-9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”, and “SDG-11 Sustainable cities and communities”.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are highly correlated with 6G, particularly in areas such as “SDG-1 No Poverty”, “SDG-3 Good Health and Well-Being”, “SDG-4 Quality Education”, “SDG-7 Affordable and Clean Energy”, “SDG-9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”, and “SDG-11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.”
NYCU is highly involved in promoting SDGs. For example, to support SDG-3 (Good Health and Well-being), NYCU offers counseling services for individuals and groups, organizing health weeks, iRun road running events, and iSwim swimming festivals to help students maintain their health. The university has also renovated student dormitories and restaurants to improve the campus living environment, which also contributes to SDG-11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
For SDG-4 (Quality Education), NYCU provides a free online course platform called OpenSourceWare (OCW) and has joined the Taiwan Open Course and Education Consortium. This initiative has made NYCU the first top-tier university in Taiwan to establish an open course platform and joined the consortium.
For SDG-7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), NYCU leverages the higher education resources and green energy resources of TSMC to construct a complete and comprehensive international green and sustainable building.
Under SDG-8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), NYCU organizes an annual job fair to assist students in their career path search and job selection. NYCU also provides various channels for staff to file complaints to protect their rights and maintain harmony on campus.
For SDG-9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), NYCU encourages full-time professors to engage in academic research. The average amount of research grants per professor has been increasing annually, and is now one of the highest among all academic institutions nationwide.
In relation to “SDG-10 Reduced Inequalities”, NYCU modifies admission requirements and lowers application fees to increase opportunities for disadvantaged groups. In addition, the university  recruits students from developing countries, providing a friendly and international learning environment.
Professor Wang mentioned that through the past few years of researching 5G, 6G, and SDG-related issues, he has come to believe that every aspect of these issue is related to SDG, and that everyone can contribute to the sustainability of the earth.
According to Professor Wang, developing abilities in the future would require not only technical knowledge, but also an understanding of the humanities, international perspectives, economic thinking, and information literacy.

※ SDG Webinar: Zero Carbon Transformation and Green Manufacturing
Professor Lin Chun-Cheng, the vice dean of NYCU College of Management, mentioned that NYCU aims to achieve net zero by 2050. To promote this goal and green manufacturing, we should focus on three perspectives: carbon inventory, carbon reduction, and carbon trading.
He emphasized that green manufacturing is crucial in significantly reducing carbon emissions and has a positive impact on society, and for Taiwan, it may even be a matter of national security. Therefore, the key to promoting net zero transformation and green manufacturing will be a major direction for future efforts. Additionally, Professor Lin highlighted that developing abilities in the future requires not only technical knowledge but also an understanding of the humanities, international perspectives, economic thinking, and information literacy, echoing the sentiments of Professor Wang.
