National Taiwan University (NTU) has long prioritized building a resilient campus as part of its social responsibility, aiming to ensure a safe and sustainable environment for learning and research while strengthening its capacity to respond to extreme weather, earthquakes, and other emergencies. Through the multi-year Resilient Campus Project, NTU has progressively enhanced disaster preparedness and institutional response capabilities.
To strengthen campus-wide skills, NTU launched a Disaster Prevention Specialist Training Program, inviting professional instructors to equip faculty, staff, and students with practical disaster-response knowledge. This initiative improves readiness and will be expanded in the coming years to further enhance institutional resilience.
To foster leadership awareness of disaster risks, NTU invited Secretary General Li Wei-Sen of the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction to deliver a keynote at the December 31 administrative meeting. His talk, titled “Campus Disaster Preparedness from a Business Continuity Perspective,” provided insights into both domestic and international risk management practices, enabling university leaders to refine response strategies and further strengthen overall campus resilience.
