REPORT
The primary purpose of my visit to NCKU between 8/15/11 – 9/30/11 is to provide assistance to President Hwung and to Director Weng-Sing Hwang of the Research & Development Office. Specific assignments and activities for this time period included, but not limited to, the following:
1. Review and comment on the Central Developmental Plans by all 9 Colleges, 7 Research Centers, the NCKU Hospital, and all the administrative offices and departments at NCKU.
2. Visit with Deans and Directors of various Colleges, Centers, and Institutes to understand their situations, frustrations, and desires so that appropriate advices may be provided to them in elevating the KPIs and in developing better “niche” or foci in their research.
3. Discuss with the Director of Research & Development (Prof. WS Hwang) on the new Germination Program, thoughts on “5 Year’s Vision for NCKU”, and strategies for “top down” management at NCKU.
4. Meet and Discuss with the Assoc. Director of R&D Office (Prof. JF Yang) and visit the TOUCH Center.
5. Meet and discuss with Dir. JY Chang of NHRI Cancer Research Institute on research collaborations.
6. Visit various faculties at the Institute of Molecular Medicine on research issues. 7. Meet and discuss with the Dean and Assoc. Deans of the College of Medicine as
well as with the Superintendent of the NCKU Hospital on various issues of importance.
8. Meet and discuss with Executive Vice President Yan on general developmental plans for NCKU.
9. Meet and discuss with Prof. IJ Su and Director HY Lei on the situation with the Infectious Disease Research Center.
3
Meetings to review the Central Development Plans of 9 Colleges and 7 Research Center were conducted on August 24, 2011 and those of the NCKU Hospital and all 16
administrative and service departments were conducted on September 19, 2011. These were intensive reviews. Each unit presented their Central Research Plans for
developments. The Review Panelists consisted very senior and distinguished professors (including past Presidents of NCKU) and provided each College, Center, and
administrative units with very in depth reviews, constructive criticisms, and frank comments on their SWOTs, foci, plans, and strategies. I was also asked to prepare summary reports on these reviews and comments. Such reports (three sets) have been submitted to the R&D Office and to President Hwung.
I was asked about my opinions and thoughts on the “5 Year’s Vision for NCKU” and the “Top Down” management issues. I had discussed this with both Director Hwang and Assoc. Director Yang of the Office of Research & Development. I had provided them and President Hwung written reports on my thoughts. Hopefully, they will find my thoughts helpful.
Meeting with the Executive Vice President Yan was indeed a pleasure and got to understand more the issues that NCKU were facing. Executive VP Yan was very supportive to the activities that R&D Office and I were advancing. Likewise, my meeting with Assoc. Director Yang (R&D Office) was a very pleasant one. Assoc. Dir. Yang agreed to work with me together to assist Director WS Hwang in every
assignment that we faced. We have also discussed at length on the development of the Germinating Program which will identify and support innovative research ideas from young faculties and scientists at NCKU. With some of our ideas and suggestions, Director WS Hwang went to present and defend this Program at the National Science Council and met with apparent success. It is hopeful that NCKU will receive funding supports for this Program.
During the last few weeks, I have met with many College Deans and Center Directors and helped them to identify unique niches in their Colleges and Centers. For example, I have suggested the College of Biosciences & Biotechnology to develop their own research characters by focusing their research, for example, on ecological changes rather than in medical issues (while collaborations with College of Medicine should still be encouraged). I have also visited the College of Sciences, the Center for Micro/Nano Technology Research, the TOUCH Center, etc., etc. and become more clear on the situations, visions, and frustrations, in these Colleges and Centers. This information will be very valuable to me in providing them with advices and assistances.
Research potentials in the College of Medicine are very strong yet too diversified. More focus and interactive efforts are needed. Via my discussions with Dean Lin of College
4
of Medicine, Superintendent Lin of NCKU Hospital, and Director Chang of NHRI Cancer Institute, we all agreed that the easiest way to become “number 1” is to be “unique” and through teamwork. We will identify an unique cancer research which we can collaborate on with good opportunity in becoming “number 1” research team in the world. Tentatively, we are targeting our thoughts on pancreatic cancer which is
becoming more concerning yet without world leading research groups. I will continue to encourage and plan the establishment of this “NCKU pancreatic cancer research team” (NCKU College of Medicine, NCKU Hospital, and NHRI Cancer Institute) when I return to NCKU this November.
A sudden lost of leadership in the Center for Infectious Disease is a big concern. A full time Director is very much needed to assure success of this Center. I have recently helped to recruit a new faculty (Dr. Oscar Perng) from USA to join this Center. I have suggested various options to secure the leadership in this Center to President Hwung and to Director WS Hwang. It is my hope that this problem will be resolved.
My discussion and strategies on internationalization for NCKU were well received by Vice President Jenny Su. Recently I had established international interactive platforms in USA for faculties and students of NCKU. Chinese faculties at Emory University (medical scientists, especially in area of infectious diseases) and faculties at Georgia Tech. (engineering) in Atlanta were summoned by me to form interactive resources for NCKU. Faculties and students may visit Emory or Georgia Tech via these Chinese faculties in USA and cross-training programs between NCKU and Emory or Georgia Tech can also be established in the future. I will continue to work with Vice President Su in the enhancement of internationalization for NCKU as directed by Vice President Su.
This is a short visit (45 days) to NCKU. Many things were discussed and much has been accomplished. Especially important was the review on all 9 Colleges, 7 Centers, 1 Hospital, and 16 administrative departments and offices at NCKU. It is hopeful that improvements will come about through our reviews and comments. Much works and issues still need to be followed and efforts be continued. My next visit is scheduled to be in November/December. Looking forward to continue working with the Office of Research & Development and with President Hwung for the advancement of NCKU.
