A delegation from University of Waterloo visited University of Taipei on April 8, 2026. The delegation was led by Grant Leach, Director of Marketing and Recruitment.
The meeting was hosted by Office of International Affairs Director Wu-long Jhuang.

The discussion focused on the feasibility of organizing English study tours in Canada for students from the University of Taipei.
Both institutions also explored potential collaboration models, including short-term programs, student mobility opportunities, and the future signing of
a Memorandum of Understanding, aiming to establish a long-term and sustainable partnership.

During the meeting, the University of Waterloo proposed the possibility of offering a customized one-week study program tailored to the needs of the University of Taipei.
The program would focus on its strengths in sports-related fields, combining academic learning with practical experiences. Participants would receive a certificate upon completion.
The program would require a minimum number of participants and could potentially be organized in collaboration with other universities.
In addition, preferential measures may be provided should an MoU be established in the future, further encouraging student participation.

Both sides also outlined preliminary plans for future collaboration, including the exchange of official documents, further discussions on partnership details, and the evaluation of potential departmental participation. The meeting concluded with mutual interest in deepening cooperation and expanding opportunities in student exchange and international education.

The University of Taipei has long been committed to promoting international engagement. This visit marks a significant step toward enhancing students' global perspectives and strengthening the university's international development.
