The Service-center of Project Affairs (ScPA) serves as the window and the
management unit for the faculty of the university to conduct research projects
and industrial-academic cooperation projects. Our services include assistances
in applying for and executing the research projects of the government, the
industrial-academic cooperation projects of the public and private sectors, and
the international collaborative projects. With the passion to serve faculty and
the mission to promote industry upgrading, the GAC devotes itself in promoting
the research and innovation capabilities of the faculty, matching the needs of
industrial technology, as well as conducting the related administrative support
and services. In addition, the GAC is actively seeking all possible domestic and
