National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Yangming Campus, Public university campus in Beitou District, Taiwan.
The Yangming Campus of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University is a university campus in the northern part of Taipei focused on biomedical and health sciences. Multi-story laboratory buildings, research facilities, and a library complex spread across green areas at the foot of the Yangming Mountains.
The institution began in 1975 as National Yang-Ming Medical College to train more medical students for rural areas of Taiwan. The merger with National Chiao Tung University took place in 2021 and created one of the largest research universities in the country.
The institution takes its name Yang Ming from Sun Yat-sen and places special emphasis on medical training and research. Health science students work in several specialized laboratories that collaborate closely with nearby hospitals.
The site is located in Beitou District and can be reached by public buses from several metro stations. Visitors should note that the grounds sit on hillside terrain and some steep pathways between buildings require extra walking time.
A rocket research center on the grounds develops hybrid rocket systems and works on new propulsion technologies for space transport. This facility is one of the few academic centers in Taiwan engaged in experimental space research.
