摘要 In response to the problem of building a world class university efficiently, several Asian nations chose to invest in the development of research universities and centers to increase their volume of research output, and subsequently move up the global rankings. Taiwan was no exception. From 2005 to 2016, the Taiwanese government launched various types of excellence initiatives with different objectives, including three big projects: Development Plan for World Class Universities and Research Centers of Excellence, Teaching Excellence Initiative, and Academia-Industry Collaboration. Beginning in 2017, the Ministry of Education introduced a new direction in higher education policy by launching a new excellence initiative, the Higher Education Sprout Project. It concentrates on “University social responsibility and accountability” instead of solely the pursuit of academic excellence. This chapter analyzes the development and impacts of Taiwan’s Excellence Initiatives from 2005 to 2016. It then presents and discusses the 2017 Higher Education Sprout Project. The relationship between building world class universities and excellence initiatives and the associated challenges are examined in the conclusion section of the paper.
