National Tsing Hua University officially established the College of Sustainability on May 23, 2025, with the inauguration ceremony witnessed by President Lai Ching-te, Minister of Environment Pang Chi-ming, and National Science and Technology Council Chairman Wu Cheng-wen, among other distinguished officials.
The College of Sustainability at National Tsing Hua University is Taiwan’s first interdisciplinary sustainability college, dedicated to cultivating key “green-collar talents” who will lead the nation toward net-zero emissions by 2050, injecting strong academic momentum into Taiwan’s national sustainability strategy.
Sustainability encompasses a wide range of issues that cannot be addressed by a single discipline. As National Tsing Hua University’s 13th college, the College of Sustainability will collaborate with colleges across science, engineering, and humanities and social sciences to promote interdisciplinary, inter-university, and international research with forward-looking impact—such as the development of carbon capture technologies and carbon trading platforms.
All sustainability initiatives must be grounded in a sound scientific understanding, which aligns perfectly with Tsing Hua’s strong foundation and expertise in the fundamental sciences.
In the presence of Minister of Environment Pang Chi-ming, National Tsing Hua University signed a Letter of Intent for Partnership in Advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with seven corporations — ASE Holdings, UMC, Delta Electronics, ADATA Technology, CSC (China Steel Corporation), Swancor Holding, and GPM Group.
The agreement demonstrates a shared commitment to driving green industrial transformation and achieving net-zero emissions through collaborative efforts between academia and industry.
