Financial Risk and Opportunity Management

In response to the impact of declining birth rates and the development needs of becoming a model technological university, our school adheres to the principle of "zero-debt operation." We diversify financial sources and strengthen internal control mechanisms. Based on the school development plan, we plan the budget, monitor budget execution through the online budget system, and at the end of each academic year, an internal visitation team conducts on-site evaluations to review the effectiveness of budget execution.

Additionally, our school strengthens the business of industry-academia cooperation and extension education through the Environmental Toxicology and Emerging Contaminants Research Center and the Cultural Heritage Conservation Research Center. We actively seek grants and subsidies from the Ministry of Education and other government departments. We also recruit students for specialized programs such as military base classes, overseas Chinese students, and migrant workers to expand financial sources. Furthermore, we implement internal control functions based on internal risk assessments to reduce inefficient use of resources.
