Pursuant to the University’s Principles for Signing Collaborative Agreements with Higher Education and Research Institutions, any entity with which NCHU signs an agreement must be carefully selected. Such entities must be of a similar scale as the University, be conducive to the academic development and improvement of the University, and be willing to collaborate with the University in a mutually beneficial manner. Contract terms, regardless of scope, items, or level of collaboration, must undergo an internal review process before an agreement may be signed. Please visit the Office of International Affairs website for the contract formats and contact the Office for consultation on any potential collaboration opportunities.
To facilitate international academic exchanges, the University provides the following resources for visiting international guests: Short-term visiting ID (Office of International Affairs), University promotional videos/materials (Secretariat Office), contracted hotels (General Affairs Office-approved contractors), NCHU-branded souvenirs (Caves Books), etc. Please contact the Office of International Affairs’ Division of Academic Exchange for guests invited by a university-level unit.
