SUSTAINABLE ECO-CAMPUS

For the past couple of decades, Taipei Tech has poured resources into creating a sustainable eco-campus. Several landscaping projects and structures on the campus are designed to allow plants and creatures to thrive on the Taipei Tech campus, in spite of the fact that it is located at the center of Taipei City. These projects include a stream that runs through the campus, a pond, a structure that allows for green growth, and several buildings dedicated to sustainability  research and education. Through these endeavors, we are able to provide an environmentally-friendly habitat on campus for several local species. In the 2020 UI GreenMetric University Rankings, Taipei Tech is ranked first in the High-Rise Building Category and No. 118 in the overall rankings as one of the world’s most sustainable universities.  

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Our faculty and students carried out a collaborative project with the local Atayal tribe in Jianshi Township to reconstruct an eco-farm and implemented a skills exchange platform to promote natural, eco-friendly farming. Through the cultivation mechanism and structured training, our students worked closely with members of the tribe to develop a step-by-step plan for analysis and strategic design. By forming a partnership with a local indigenous tribe to improve agricultural development and maintain a shared land ecosystems, we are striving to achieve a more sustainable future.
