About the Office of Sustainability and Strategic Development

Based on the university vision, the Office of Sustainability and Strategic Development ensures that action plans move toward institutional development goals. Grounded in institutional data analysis, the Office assists university leadership in responding to global changes in higher education, ministry requirements, social needs, and emerging challenges. Beyond carrying out pioneering work, it actively plans university-wide initiatives, projects, and strategic directions, responds in a timely manner to stakeholder needs, and provides strategic direction for implementation units to define action plans and performance indicators. This helps align each unit's work with university-level direction while also offering forward-looking consultation and discussion based on unit needs.

Through the operation and functions of OSSD, National Cheng Kung University can clarify its development priorities, further leverage its strengths, meet stakeholder needs, respond actively and effectively to a sustainable society and international connections, and become an influential university.
