The National Taiwan University (NTU) Global International Program TRIAD (GIP-TRIAD), founded in 2017 with the University of Tsukuba, Japan, and the University of Bordeaux, France, enables students to rotate through three universities and complete internships abroad. From September to October 2025, an NTU delegation attended the Tsukuba Conference and the tri-university GIP-TRIAD meeting to strengthen international alliances and academic collaboration.
Led by Professor Shen Tang-Long, Chair of NTU’s Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, the delegation engaged with international scholars, industry experts, and the Global Young Academy, while students showcased cross-cultural innovation in the “Global Health and Medical Challenges” competition. Vice President Prof. Shih-Torng Ding highlighted NTU’s commitment to advancing global education and research partnerships.
The delegation then travelled to France, briefing Taiwanese Ambassador Hao Pei-Chih on program progress, meeting with education and science officials, and visiting the University of Bordeaux to hold seminars with faculty and students. As GIP-TRIAD approaches its 10th anniversary in 2026, all three universities plan joint commemorative events, reinforcing NTU’s long-term dedication to cultivating globally minded, interdisciplinary leaders.
