On August 28, 2026, the University of Taipei hosted a delegation from Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan, for an academic exchange at the Tianmu Campus. The visit provided an opportunity for both universities to exchange information on university development, academic research, and future collaboration, further strengthening their partnership and international engagement. The University of Taipei delegation included President Ying-Hao Chiu, Dean of the Office of International Affairs Tzu-Ling Chen, General Affairs Officer Shu-Wen Lin, Department of Urban Development faculty member Kuo-Ching Huang, and Administrative Counselor Ya-Ting Chang from the Secretariat. Tokyo Metropolitan University was represented by Professor Shin Aiba and Associate Professor Shu Yamamura. Through face-to-face discussions, both sides gained a deeper understanding of each other's institutional development and academic research directions. The meeting began with introductions to both universities, followed by the screening of university introduction videos, allowing participants to gain a better understanding of each institution’s characteristics and development. The Tokyo Metropolitan University delegation also prepared a presentation highlighting its academic research and potential areas for exchange, followed by discussions on relevant topics between the two sides. Looking ahead, Tokyo Metropolitan University is expected to visit the University of Taipei for approximately one week between late August and September 2027. If the exchange program proceeds as planned, the activities will include fieldwork and academic research presentations. In the following year, the University of Taipei also plans to organize a delegation to visit Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan. Through reciprocal visits and academic exchange, the two universities hope to further strengthen their partnership and create more international learning and academic opportunities for faculty and students.
