Introduction

The Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs (OICSA) was founded in 2011. The office aims to support NCNU's international research, academic programs, activities, and facilitates collaborations throughout the world. The OICSA provides coordination and communications services, administers a faculty seed-grant program for new global collaborations, and supports the development of new overseas programs and facilities.
