Call for Proposals Description
This project is an initiative of the University Academic Alliance in Taiwan (UAAT), focused on research and talent cultivation in the field of social sciences and humanities. Multiple member universities of UAAT are participating in this project, aiming to attract distinguished international scholars and foreign students to Taiwan through bilateral academic cooperation and exchange. Simultaneously, it aims to send domestic teachers and students abroad to foster local academic talent.
National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) has been designated by the UAAT joint meeting to serve as the coordinating university for the "Kyushu-Okinawa Open University (KOOU) in the field of social sciences and humanities," with National Chengchi University (NCCU) and National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) serving as co- coordinating universities.
The focal theme of this project is "Aim for Sustainability: Interdisciplinary Research between Humanities and Technology," divided into two research areas: "Sustainability Research from a Humanities Perspective" and "East Asian Civilizational Development in the Post-Industrial Transformation."
Based on its objectives, the project is categorized into three types: "Research Projects," "Talent Cultivation Projects," and "Compounded Projects (Combined Research and Talent Cultivation Projects)." Each project must involve at least two UAAT member universities and one international partner university, with NTNU leading the overall planning and coordination.
