Facilitated by the Ministry of Education, University of Taipei hosted a delegation from Seoul National University of Education at its Bo-Ai Campus on September 11. The visiting delegation was led by SNUE Vice President Bang-Chool Kim, while UT was represented by Dean of International Affairs Tzu-Ling Chen, Dean of the College of Education Shu-Yu Chen, and Department Chair of Special Education Chu-Ting Ko. Amber Lin, Second Secretary of the Ministry of Education, also attended the meeting. Through institutional presentations and discussion sessions, both sides gained a deeper understanding of each other's educational characteristics and exchanged views on future directions for collaboration. During the meeting, Vice President Bang-Chool Kim shared SNUE's initiative in promoting "AIcation" (AI + Education), explaining the university's commitment to integrating artificial intelligence and educational technology into teacher training, instructional practice, and curriculum development, alongside its past collaboration with Google on related projects. UT also gained insights into current trends in Korean teacher education and educational technology, laying a solid foundation for future cross-institutional exchanges. Regarding student exchanges, both parties noted the high level of interest among Taiwanese and Korean students in each other's culture and learning environments. Future collaboration models may evaluate short-term study programs, thematic workshops, and exchange semesters. Both sides reached a consensus that implementing student exchanges or other formal arrangements should begin with establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as a foundation, followed by detailed discussions on exchange quotas, course arrangements, and operational procedures. Additionally, as Vice President Bang-Chool Kim holds an athletic background and specializes in the history of physical education, both sides identified potential for academic collaboration and exchanges in sports science based on department-level needs, alongside extending an invitation for a UT delegation to visit SNUE in the future. Dean of International Affairs Tzu-Ling Chen stated that UT will maintain continuous communication through mutual contact windows to advance concrete arrangements—including reciprocal visits, student exchanges, departmental collaborations, and academic event participation—gradually deepening educational exchanges and substantive cooperation between Taiwan and South Korea.
