What National Chung Hsing University does

National Chung Hsing University (NCHU; 國立中興大學) is a public national university under Taiwan's Ministry of Education, headquartered on Xingda Road in South District, Taichung City, Taiwan. Founded in 1919 as Taiwan Provincial College of Agriculture, NCHU has expanded into a comprehensive university with eight colleges covering Agriculture and Renewable Resources, Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, Management, and Law and Politics. Its principal stakeholders are Taiwanese undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and external government and industry partners that co-fund research and ecological projects. NCHU is governed by a board and led since 2023 by its 17th President, Fu-Zhi Zhan (詹富智).

NCHU's core activity spans degree-granting education, fundamental and applied research, and technology transfer. Its in-house digital infrastructure comprises three primary platforms: Mail2000 (or webmail.nchu.edu.tw) for faculty and staff email with 15GB mailboxes and 40MB attachment limits; a separate student email system (mail.nchu.edu.tw) with 1GB mailboxes; and the 興大影音網 (NCHU Video Network), a Formosasoft FMS-based streaming and content management platform with 31 departmental sub-sites. Supporting services include Microsoft Office 365 accounts, Google Workspace via gapp.nchu.edu.tw, and SSLVPN for off-campus network access. Mail authentication supports SAML, certificate, Google, and passwordless login.

Research is anchored in agriculture, life sciences, and environmental science, with applied projects spanning computer-vision-based ecological monitoring along Zhonggua River in partnership with VIVOTEK Inc. and DATAYOO, and a portable biodiesel production device co-developed with National Taiwan University and Kasetsart University that achieves a 91.14% yield. As a publicly funded national university, NCHU's revenue model rests on Ministry of Education allocations, tuition and fees set by government regulation, competitive research grants, and industry-funded collaboration agreements; specific financials are not publicly disclosed.
