On October 22, 2024, Dr. Ann Evans, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Graduate Research at the Australian National University, accompanied by representatives from the Ministry of Education, visited National Chung Hsing University (NCHU). During the meeting, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on potential future collaboration models. Additionally, the Australian National University held the only Australian National University-Taiwan Scholarship Information Session in Taiwan at NCHU, marking a new chapter in academic exchanges between Taiwan and Australia and in the joint cultivation of students.

The Australian National University (ANU) is a comprehensive university ranked 30th in the QS World Rankings. Dr. Ann Evans was received by Vice President Chao-Chin Chang, and the meeting was joined by Director of Advanced Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences Dr. Tung-Chieh Tsai, Dean of College of Life Science Dr. Chieh-Chen Huang, Vice Dean of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Dr. Shaw-Yhi Hwang, Associate Vice President for International Affairs, Dr. Kai-Jung Chi, Director for Academic Exchange Division at Office of International Affairs Dr. Edith Su, Academic Secretary of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Dr. Hsin-I Chiang, and Professor Dr. Yin-Tsung Hwang from the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Vice President Chang emphasized that NCHU is actively expanding its international presence. In recent years, the university has deepened its partnership with Australian universities through various collaborative programs. Students also have multiple channels to participate in exchange programs with Australian institutions. Taiwan-Australia academic interactions have been both close and frequent, and it is believed that should there be any opportunities to establish bilateral cooperation with ANU in the future, it would further attract outstanding students to study at both universities.

Pro Vice-Chancellor for Graduate Research at the Australian National University Dr. Ann Evans stated that this was her first visit to Taiwan. She expressed appreciation for the warmth and friendliness of the Taiwanese people and mentioned her interest in exploring collaboration models with universities in Taiwan. Dr. Evans looks forward to further deepening academic exchanges between Taiwan and Australia in the future.

The Australian National University-Taiwan Scholarship Information Session was personally hosted by Vice Chancellor Evans. During the session, she introduced the university's unique resources and provided detailed information about ANU's degree programs to NCHU students, encouraging students to actively apply. NCHU students also vigorously asked questions and engaged in discussions with Dr. Evans, showing their enthusiastic participation in the info session. This event is believed to have opened a new chapter in the future collaboration between NCHU and ANU.

In recent years, NCHU has actively expanded its cooperation with top universities in Australia in line with Taiwan's "New Southbound Policy." The university expresses gratitude to the Education Division of the Taipei Representative Office in Australia and the Science and Technology Division of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in Australia for facilitating the visit of the Australian National University (ANU). The event was a great success and helped both universities gain a deeper understanding of each other, opening up limitless possibilities for future collaboration.
