Hokkaido University plans to collaborate with NYCU on research integrating healthcare and semiconductors
NYCU President Chi-Hung Lin led this visit to Japan with visits to the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Hokkaido University, Tohoku University, Kyushu University, and Kumamoto University. During the visit, NYCU signed memorandums of understanding (MOU) and agreements with Hokkaido University, Kumamoto University, and Kyushu University. Additionally, we jointly organized workshops to explore collaboration opportunities in forward-looking research.
President Chi-Hung Lin stated that Hokkaido University will join forces with NYCU to promote joint research in the semiconductor field and achieve domestic production of next-generation semiconductors. This collaboration will enhance Hokkaido University’s research capabilities and inject new vitality into the global advancement of semiconductor technology. NYCU and Kumamoto University also plan to implement credit recognition and establish joint research laboratories to promote the development of the local semiconductor industry. These collaborative projects demonstrate NYCU’s outstanding leadership and international influence in semiconductors.

Additionally, Kyushu University began collaborating with NYCU and the Industrial Technology Research Institute last September in three significant fields: semiconductors, smart vehicles, and green energy (Read More). During this visit, we signed another MOU, planning to establish joint semiconductor research laboratories at Kyushu University’s Ito Campus (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka) and NYCU this year. These research laboratories will bridge industry-academia collaboration in both regions, assisting local companies in entering the international semiconductor supply chain.
NYCU’s Experience Recognized: Invited to Share at Japanese Universities
NYCU is actively sharing its extensive experience in semiconductor research and talent cultivation to support Japanese universities. Recognized for its long-standing commitment to training industry professionals in Taiwan and globally, NYCU’s collaboration has garnered high praise from major Japanese institutions. This significant visit to Japan strengthened NYCU’s partnerships and drew widespread media coverage, including from Nikkei and NHK, highlighting Japan’s keen interest in Taiwan’s semiconductor achievements.
This initiative marks a pivotal step in NYCU’s international cooperation efforts. Through close collaboration with Japan’s top universities, NYCU aims to drive significant research advancements and contribute to global technological progress.
