Academic Research
Academic Supporting Mechanism
The mechanism applied by CYCU to support teachers’ academic research consists of four major aspects, including teaching research results incentives, recruitment of excellent talents, academic activities, and research plan subsidies.
Academic Research Performance
I. Journal Thesis
In the recent years, the number of theses published in high-quality Q1 journals has been increasing stably, as did the number of theses published jointly with international scholars.
II. Research Projects
CYCU’s teachers have executed a total of 1,438 projects subsidized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, government agencies, corporations, and enterprises’ industry-academia collaboration program from 2019 to 2021 and received subsidies amounting to more than NT$1.5 billion.

III. Sustainable Development-related Academic Research
CYCU’s teachers have executed research projects related to SDGs from 2017 to 2021, including renewal energy, environmental protection, high-quality education, infrastructure, stimulation of carbon reduction, sustainable urban and rural planning, and analysis on climate change response measures, totaling 512 projects in total, and received subsidies of more than NT$550 million from external units.

Statistics of academic theses related to SGDs published by CYCU. From 2017 to 2020, CYCU has published a total of 1,665 academic theses related to SDGs, with the CNCI value tending to improve stably. CYCU has had a CNCI value over 1 for three consecutive years, representing that the citation rate of SDGs-related academic theses published by CYCU is higher than the average number of theses published by global academic institutions, thus deriving an influence higher than that of global academic institutions.

Statistics on Academic Theses Related to the 17 Goals of SDGs as Published by CYCU The 1665 academic theses related to SDGs as published by CYCU from 2017 to 2020 were primarily focused on 8 goals, including SDGs 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13. A CNCI value over 1 is higher than the average influence of global academic institutions by 10 SDGs. Apparently, CYCU has achieved remarkable performance in the promotion of academic research related to sustainable development, in terms of quantity or influence.

International Exchange Performance
CYCU’s teachers may seek funds subsidized by the Ministry of Science and Technology or other units, and in accordance with the related regulations adopted under CYCU’s academic and research supporting mechanism, to improve the academic research quality and CYCU’s international public awareness. Meanwhile, CYCU also aims to improve teachers’ academic competitiveness by organizing international academic conferences.
To inspire students’ attempt to improve their personal foreign language proficiency, CYCU has adopted relevant regulations to encourage students to study and exchange abroad, and strongly encourages students to apply with foreign sister schools for short-term study or exchange during their study years.
