National Chengchi University, Research university in Wenshan District, Taiwan.
National Chengchi University is a research university in Wenshan District, southern Taipei, focusing on social sciences, politics and international relations. The grounds spread across wooded hills and connect several building complexes through footpaths and covered walkways.
The institution was founded in 1927 during Japanese colonial rule as a training center for administrative officials. After 1945, it transformed into a national university for humanities and social studies.
The campus serves as a meeting point for political debate and social discussion that shapes contemporary Taiwan. Students here regularly organize talks and workshops on regional topics that visitors can experience during a walk around the grounds.
The university sits on the southern edge of the city and can be reached via the brown metro line and bus connections from the nearest station. The hilly campus requires comfortable shoes for walking between the different faculty buildings.
The library publishes research work from its scholars digitally and enables free worldwide access to the findings. This approach makes Taiwan a leader in open science communication across Asia.
