National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) is a public research university in Taipei 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]
The university's merger history dates back to as early as the 1990s, but the most important step was in 2001, when the presidents of the two universities Dr. Yan-Hwa Wu and Dr. Chun-Yen Chang signed a Letter of Intent. In 2015, the university assembly of National Chiao Tung University approved the agreement but it failed at the National Yang-Ming University. The merger of the two universities was suspended until 2018 when President Hsu-Sung "Steve" Kuo of National Yang-Ming University relaunched the discussions. At the beginning, both National Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University all showed strong motivations to negotiate merger proposal with National Yang-Ming University. The university assembly of National Yang-Ming University finally decided to discuss the merger proposal with National Chiao Tung University under the new name of "National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University". The two universities then agreed to the merger plan in September 2019, which was then approved by the Ministry of Education in June 2020. The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University was then founded on 1 February 2021. This is the first university merger case that adopted a "bottom-up" approach in Taiwan.
