Last October, Feng Chia University partnered with the Fraunhofer Society—the world’s largest applied research organization in Germany—to establish Taiwan’s first FIP-SPE@FCU International Innovation Platform. This platform serves as a vital bridge for Taiwan-Germany technology exchange, industry collaboration, and talent cultivation. This year, the platform was approved for the Taiwan-Germany Innovation R&D Collaboration Project under the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ “A+ Enterprise Innovation R&D Program,” officially launching the initiative.

Feng Chia University continues to promote deep industry-academia connections. On September 23, the university signed industry-academia cooperation memoranda of understanding with Farglory Construction, Farglory Engineering, and Farglory Real Estate at Virtuosi Hall. This is the first time that Feng Chia University has adopted a “three-in-one signing” approach, simultaneously collaborating with the three major sectors of construction, engineering, and real estate, establishing a brand-new model for talent cultivation and industry development. In the future, the focus of cooperation will include student internships, industry experts teaching courses, corporate employee training, faculty support for project research, as well as jointly organizing professional activities and project collaborations. Through a multi-level cooperation framework, students will not only be able to accumulate project experience in advance, but also closely align their learning process with industry development trends.

The semiconductor industry has been one of the most prominent industries in Taiwan in recent years. With the issue of net-zero carbon emissions, the high-energy consumption semiconductor manufacturing process is a challenge that the industry urgently needs to address. To continuously cultivate engineering and research talents with practical experience and capabilities, and to develop energy-saving equipment for high-energy consumption, Feng Chia University and Gallant Precision Machining Co., Ltd. signed an industry-academia alliance memorandum of cooperation on May 8 at Feng Chia University, represented by President Wei Wang and General Manager You-Wen Liang. Through the donation of instruments and equipment, they demonstrated their long-term cooperation idea of jointly establishing the "Advanced Energy and Thermal Management Laboratory."

Once overgrown with weeds and sealed away for years, the Dou-Nan Railway Warehouse is about to transform into a community learning hub filled with hope and knowledge!
