Since 2017, NCYU and OCU have held a joint research conference every two years. The last conference was held at OCU in 2019, and the third conference was originally scheduled to be held at NCYU. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was postponed to 2022, but could not be held smoothly due to the ongoing pandemic. Now, with the easing of quarantine measures in both Taiwan and Japan, it is expected that the joint research conference will be held at NCYU from August 23-26, 2023.
