welcome to National Central University

National Central University (NCU) stands out in education for sustainable development. In 2022, NCU won the National Sustainable Development Award in the field of education awarded by the Executive Yuan, one gold and two silver medals of the Asia-Pacific Sustainability Action Awards (APSAA), and the award of Excellence in the University Social Responsibility awarded by the CommonWealth Magazine.

The pinecone-shaped NCU Multi-Functional Auditorium, which was inspired by pine trees, the symbolic icon of NCU, was the winner of the DNA Paris Design Awards 2022 in the Educational and Sports category and won the silver prize in architectural designs of the International Design Awards 2021. This award-winning auditorium caught the media’s attention, thereby being widely publicized by domestic and international architectural magazines, mass media, and online platforms.

NCU held a music concert on the evening of December 16, 2022, to celebrate its 60th anniversary of re-establishment in Taiwan. The Taipei Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra (TPSO) was invited to play 12 music pieces covering classical music, modern compositions, film scores, and Taiwanese music. At the grand finale, the TPSO, the NCU Wind Band, and the NCU String Orchestra all played together; the audience stood up for such a magnificent scene, giving their cheerful applause and acclamation!

Taiwan began to provide foreign aid in 1959 and has offered feedback to international communities with various comparative advantages for many years. The Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR) at National Central University (NCU) and the International Cooperation and Development Fund (Taiwan ICDF) collaborated to produce the 2023 satellite image calendar "Taiwan's Allies from Above." From the perspective of a very-high resolution remote sensing satellite, the calendar allows us to witness the beautiful friendship and partnership between Taiwan and our allies.

The Hong Hai Research Institute of Hong Hai Technological Group announced that it will collaborate with National Central University (NCU) and other institutes in developing Taiwan's first low earth orbit (LEO) communications satellite, and the estimated time to launch the satellite is 2023. The collaboration has placed Taiwan's space industry, which features independent research and development, in the spotlight. The Advanced Ionospheric Probe (AIP) independently developed by NCU has made the university far ahead of other academic institutes in the country in terms of research progress. The development not only gained full trust industry-wide but also demonstrated international influence.
