National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech) warmly welcomed the Joint Delegation of Indonesian University Presidents from December 3 to 7. This visit responded to President Chang, Chuan-Yu’s sincere invitation extended during his visit to Indonesia in October with the university management board and alumni association. It also deepened international academic exchange and expanded cross-border industry cooperation, adding an international highlight to the university’s 35th anniversary celebrations.

Seventeen Indonesian university presidents and professors visited Taiwan to attend YunTech's anniversary ceremony. During the ceremony, President Chang formally introduced the distinguished guests from Indonesia to Director-General Yang, Yu-Huei of the Department of Technological and Vocational Education, Ministry of Education, and other attendees. Souvenirs were exchanged to symbolize the longstanding friendship between the two regions and the commitment to deepening cross-border collaboration. A warm banquet followed, where delegation members and YunTech faculty members discussed current developments in Indonesian higher education, a consensus was reached to pursue transnational and interdisciplinary cooperation, making this anniversary particularly meaningful.

To promote substantive international cooperation and strengthen industry connections, the Office of International Affairs arranged visits to several renowned enterprise partners that have maintained long-term collaboration with YunTech, including Nan Juen International Co., Ltd., Ua Floors Co., Ltd., and Goldencrops Corporation. Company representatives enthusiastically presented their development strategies, technological advantages, and talent needs. Both sides exchanged views on important topics such as overseas internships, cross-border employment, and international cooperative programs, with the shared hope of establishing a more comprehensive global talent cultivation mechanism in the future.

A highlight of the visit was the delegation's trip to Ua Floors Co., Ltd., led by Chairman Su, Chen-Yi, who is also the Director-General of the YunTech Alumni Association. This visit continued the dialogue initiated during President Chang and Chairman Su's visit to Indonesia earlier this year, further strengthening both sides' willingness to cooperate and demonstrating YunTech's dedication to integrating alumni resources and industry-academia collaboration.

In addition to enterprise visits, delegation members Prof. Dr. Marheny Lukitasari and Dr. Sri Lestari also engaged in academic discussions with YunTech faculty on potential collaborative research and publication. The discussions explored opportunities in language education, science education, and joint research projects, laying a solid foundation for future academic partnerships.

The visit of the Joint Delegation of Indonesian University Presidents during YunTech's anniversary celebration successfully enhanced international academic cooperation while expanding global industry-academia linkages and research exchanges. It marked a promising new chapter in the partnership between YunTech and universities in Indonesia.
