We would like to inform all our teachers and colleagues about the upcoming University Social Responsibility (USR) program forum and workshops held outside the campus, as conveyed by the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Center. We extend a warm welcome to all interested faculty and staff to actively register and participate in these events related to the USR program.
Additionally, we have attached information about past USR exhibitions organized by the Ministry of Education, which feature the achievements of various universities' USR projects. We encourage you to refer to this valuable resource.
The Ministry of Education began promoting the University Social Responsibility (USR) program in 2017, leading higher education institutions to reflect on the essence and goals of higher education. Since 2018, social responsibility has been a key focus in school development. The program has now entered its second phase, with a total of 93 higher education institutions contributing to action-oriented work for sustainable development through 204 individual projects.
The USR program has sparked an ecosystem of academic innovation and transformation in higher education, involving collaboration among schools, teachers, students, facilities, communities, localities, international organizations, and more. Through multilevel dialogues, exchanges, and feedback, it has shaped distinctive characteristics that lead towards a sustainable and inclusive living environment.
For this reason, the Ministry of Education invites all USR programs to co-organize the annual USR Expo, aiming to spread the benefits of USR and hoping that interested faculty and staff from our university can join to appreciate and consider participating in the future USR initiatives.
USR 推動中心與夥伴學校們一起建構共同學習的管道， 包括：「共培（共同培力工作坊）」與「SIG（Special Interest Group）」兩種學習形式。藉由兩項活動，促進全臺大專院校透過多元教研策略和成果經驗的分享，進行跨校連結、相互觀摩、友好互動。希望彼此觀摩好的案例、促進學習與對話，進一步擴散活動效益，讓大家能夠快速上手USR計畫! The University Social Responsibility (USR) Promotion Center, in collaboration with partner schools, is working together to establish a channel for mutual learning. This includes two learning formats: "Co-training Workshops" and "Special Interest Groups (SIG)." Through these activities, we aim to facilitate intercollegiate connections, mutual observation, and friendly interaction among all Taiwanese higher education institutions.
We hope that by showcasing successful cases and fostering learning and dialogue, we can further disseminate the benefits of these activities. This way, everyone can quickly and effectively implement USR projects.
