On August 13, 2026, the Office of International Affairs at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) hosted the "2026 TCUS Faculty Workshop," gathering international and local scholars from across the Taiwan Comprehensive University System (TCUS)—comprising NCKU, NCHU, NSYSU, and NCCU.

Faculty members are fully immersed in the hands-on workshop.

Designed to foster cross-institutional networking and deepen cultural appreciation, the one-day excursion offered participants an immersive look into local Taiwanese craftsmanship. The itinerary began with an interactive visit to the Pin Huan Coffee Museum in Chiayi, where faculty members explored the history of coffee culture and mastered precision techniques in a hands-on, hand-drip brewing session. The journey continued to the Favorland Distillery in Yunlin, where participants took an exclusive guided tour to discover traditional brewing philosophy and to craft their own custom fruit-fermented products during an engaging hands-on workshop.

The 2026 TCUS Faculty Workshop wraps up, fostering local and global engagement.

The event concluded successfully, receiving warm acclaim and highly positive feedback from participating faculty members. Beyond professional exchange, the workshop provided international academics with a welcoming space to relax, connect with peers across disciplines, and build lasting ties within the TCUS academic community.
