National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) is a national research university in Taipei, Taiwan, and Hsinchu, Taiwan. It was created in 2021 through the merger of National Chiao Tung University and National Yang-Ming University. At present, there are 19 colleges, 74 university/college level research centers, and 1 hospital in Yilan.[8][9]

NYCU is one of six national universities in research selected by the Ministry of Education.[10][11] The university is also one of four universities selected by the Ministry of Education to participate in the Global Taiwan Program.[12][13]

History

[edit]
NYCU Guangfu campus north gate

The university was established on February 1, 2021, as the result of the merger of National Yang-Ming University (NYMU) in Beitou District, Taipei, and National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in Hsinchu.[14] NYMU focused on biomedical research and NCTU specialized in electronics research.[15] Biologist Lin Chi-hung (林奇宏) became the newly-merged university's first president.[16]

The university council of NCTU approved a proposal to merge with NYMU in 2015. The university council of NYMU held a hearing on October 8, 2018, to discuss the possibility of merging with NCTU and initially also considered merging with neighboring National Tsing Hua University (NTHU).[17] On September 27, 2018, NYMU officially began merger proceedings after its university council voted 73 to 89 to merge with either NCTU or NTHU.[18] The university council of NYMU ultimately voted on December 26, 2018, to complete the merger with NCTU under a shared name.[19] Both universities approved to merge into a new shared university, "National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University," in September 2019. The Ministry of Education approved the merger plan on June 24, 2020, and allocated a budget of NT$400 million (US$13.5 million) to complete the merge.[20]
