The National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) celebrates its 100th anniversary, tracing its origins to 1924 during the Japanese colonial era. Over the years, it underwent transformations and became NPUST in 1997, playing a pivotal role in Taiwan’s economic development, particularly in modernizing domestic agriculture. Beyond academic pursuits, NPUST recognizes a broader responsibility and integrates sustainable development principles into education, research, governance, and community service, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The university emphasizes interdisciplinary teaching and research across its seven colleges, addressing various issues such as agricultural production, environmental ecology, elderly welfare, and social responsibility. Actively practicing University Social Responsibility (USR), NPUST serves as a local think tank, contributing to community revitalization, and has received widespread recognition and commendations in various evaluations and rankings.
