Institutional research plays a pivotal role in our university‘s pursuit of excellence. From 2015 to 2017, our university received recognition under the Ministry of Education’s competitive program for “enhancing the professional management capabilities of university academic affairs.” This acknowledgment continued from 2018 to 2022 as we further executed the higher education in-depth development plan, titled ‘Institutional Research Management and Decision-Making Quality Assurance,’ aiming to establish a new generation of universities. During this period, we implemented various initiatives, including the Institutional Integrated Information System, the Institutional Research Data Warehousing Management System, the Institutional Information Disclosure Website, the cross-unit cooperative institutional research model, and the Institutional Decision-Making Analysis and Results Access Procedures. These endeavors encompassed enrollment management, learning and life, academic courses, and administrative procedures, enabling a comprehensive analysis and feedback on matters pertaining to resource allocation and strategic planning.Through significant efforts, such as the delivery of Big Data Analysis and Application credit courses, empowerment lectures, domestic and international academic exchanges, and publications, we have been fostering expertise in the field of institutional research. These actions have laid the foundation for the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) management cycle in the development of institutional research at our university. To comprehensively enhance the quality of our institution, in 2022, the "Institutional Research Center" underwent a transformation into the "Institutional Research and Innovation for Sustainable Development Center." Following the initiatives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the center is committed to advancing campus sustainability across four major dimensions: operational governance, research, education, and external engagement.
