This year’s competition has been officially kicked off. We firmly believe that
"universities are the city’s think tanks, and that youth are the engine for future
thriving!" We sincerely invite faculty members to encourage and guide
students to form teams and submit proposals once again this year. Their
continuing efforts inject research energy into municipal development, which
helps explore the blueprint for Taoyuan’s next phase of sustainability and
innovation advancement!

[Competition Highlights]
1.  Bridging Theory and Practice: This year, we cover 10 major facets,
including transportation, information technology, environmental
sustainability, and social welfare and healthcare, aiming to make
academic research a practical backbone for municipal governance.
2. Dual Tracks of Research and Implementation: Divided into "Innovative
Ideas Group" and "Research Practice Group" to encourage student
teams to bring research into real-world settings.
