Q540218 資訊學院講座 CCS Chair
資通訊產業是台灣高科技發展的核心支柱,而科技人才則是推動產業升級與創新的關鍵引擎。
然而,大學目前正面臨多重挑戰。在資訊領域,教授的起薪普遍低於其所培育的碩士畢業新鮮人,使得碩士生進一步攻讀博士的意願降低,博士生投入教職的比例也呈現逐年下降的趨勢。另一方面,全台約三分之一的大學專任教師即將屆齡退休,師資斷層的風險日益浮現,對高階科技人才的培育品質與產量皆構成潛在影響。
為積極延攬並留住優秀青年學者投入教學與研究工作,本院特別推動「企業講座獎勵計畫」。本計畫透過企業捐款設置獎助金,不僅協助新進教師發展其學術職涯與穩定留任,同時也獎勵現職表現卓越的教授。獲獎教師將冠以企業名稱,以彰顯產學攜手培育人才的象徵意義。
本院期盼藉由企業的長期參與與支持,激勵優秀師資持續投入教學與研究,共同培育下一代科技領導人才,強化我國高等教育體系的永續發展與全球競爭力。
The information and communication technology (ICT) industry is the cornerstone of Taiwan’s high-tech development, and technological talent serves as the driving engine for industrial upgrading and innovation.
However, universities are currently facing multiple challenges. In the field of computer science, professors’ starting salaries are often lower than those of the master’s graduates they have trained, which reduces the incentive for master’s students to pursue doctoral studies. Consequently, the proportion of doctoral graduates entering academia has been steadily declining. At the same time, about one-third of full-time university faculty members across Taiwan are approaching retirement age, raising concerns over a looming faculty shortage that could affect both the quality and capacity of advanced talent cultivation.
To proactively attract and retain outstanding young scholars in teaching and research, the College has launched the CCS Industrial Chair Program. Through corporate donations, the program establishes fellowships to support new faculty in developing their academic careers and ensuring long-term retention, while also recognizing the achievements of current professors with outstanding performance. Awardees will be named after the sponsoring corporation, symbolizing the joint commitment of industry and academia to talent cultivation.
With sustained participation and support from the corporate sector, the College aspires to inspire and empower exceptional faculty to dedicate themselves to teaching and research, nurture the next generation of technological leaders, and strengthen the sustainable development and global competitiveness of Taiwan’s higher education system.
