Collaboration and Incubation 1. Formation of Industry-University Collaboration Alliance: The University has signed a strategic alliance agreement with some 313 companies and organizations as of Jun. 4, 2012, including TSE-listed companies, OTC-listed companies, R&D centers, and small and medium enterprises. As the leading industry-university collaboration alliance in Taiwan, the University not only invites corporate CEOs to give keynote speeches and serve as members to the Curriculum Committee and part-time lecturers, but also offers preferential tuition rates to employees of these companies. The faculty of the University provides assistance to companies in applying for projects subsidized by the government, such as Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), Conventional Industry Technology Development (CITD) and Technology Development Program, while companies provide employment courses and internship positions to students. 2. Integration of Resources within E United Group: The Center for Incubating Innovation and Industry-University Collaboration is designated to integrate the resources of the University and E United Group, to expand the cooperation between the University and affiliated entities of E United Group, and to broaden the faculty members’ practical experiences and increase students’ internship opportunities. 3. Seeking Opportunities of Industry-University Collaboration: Teachers are encouraged to seek cooperation with industries and R&D centers as well as applying for subsidies from government agencies, such as the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), National Science Council (NSC), the Department of Health and local governments. The industry-university collaboration can present R&D achievements and contribute to production and quality improvement. In the Academic Year 2011 (as of Jun. 4, 2012), a total of 140 industry-university collaboration projects were carried out at the University, and the total funding reached NT$80,123,316. 4. Seeking Corporate Donations: As the subsidy from the Ministry of Education is shrinking, corporate donations are one of the major funding sources for the University to improve the quality of teaching as well as purchasing facilities required. 5. Establishing Connections with Industries: By actively participating in industry-university consortiums of industrial parks, including: Southern Taiwan Science Park, Kaohsiung Science Park, Pingtung Agricultural Biotechnology Park, Export Processing Zone of MOEA and Kaohsiung Software Technology Park, the University establishes a close relation with business entities in these industrial parks and aims at seeking opportunities of industry-university collaboration. Moreover, the University goes into partnership with matching platforms of various R&D centers, such as Southern Taiwan R&D Resource Sharing Center of Industrial Technology Research Institute, Electric Vehicle Industry Clusters Platform of Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, and Counseling Platform for the Enterprises of Pingtung Agricultural Biotechnology Park. 6. Showcasing R&D Achievements: To present teachers’ capability in developing industry-university collaboration and incubation, the University organizes internal and external seminars on application for projects subsidized by the government, such as SBIR, CITD and Technology Development Program. Besides, the University organizes workshops, forums and exhibitions to showcase achievements in technology transfer, and interviews with the faculty members are arranged as well. 7. Establishing Industry-University Collaboration Platform: The University weighs up its faculty members’ R&D capacity and equipment at every department/institute to compile the “Handbook of Research and Development Achievements.” The University also establishes the Industry-University Collaboration Platform to carry out the project matching between companies and professors. 8. Achievements in Incubation: (1) In the Academic Year 2011, 25 companies sought cooperation with the Center of Incubating Innovation and Industry-University Collaboration, which in turn promoted 16 industry-university collaboration projects with the total funding reaching NT$1,995,000. (2) MicroLinks Technology Corp. was selected by the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, as one of the inspiring examples of incubation with the support of a center for incubation, innovation and industryuniversity collaboration in 2011.

Dr. Shen-Li Fu, the founding President as well as the Honorary President of ISU, handed over the office in September, 2011, after serving as the University’s President for almost 21 years. His successor, the Acting President, Dr. Wan-Long Hong, also retired from the office and the University in February, 2012. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. On February 1st, 2012, Dr. Jei-Fu Shaw assumed the office to lead the University in moving forward to the next 20 years. The University has undergone two alternations of the President’s office with seamless transition of school affairs, which is rarely seen among other universities both at home and abroad, and could serve as an exemplar as well. By collecting the data provided by respective units, we can clearly see the efforts put forth by them to promote the University’s further development. After the alternations of the President’ office, the University is expected to meet new challenges, inspire new ideas and thoughts as well as create new prospects under the foundation currently possessed, thereby reaching another milestone. We would like to thank both the administrative and academic units for providing appropriate and accurate data within the prescribed period. By reading the description or numbers, we can all feel the efforts and contribution devoted by the dedicated members of I-Shou University in pursuit of excellence and outstanding performance. With the publication of the I-Shou University Yearbook, the University intends to pass down the tradition as well as to show the continued determination of moving forward. Thank you!
