National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University was formally launched on February 1, 2021, through the merger of National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) — founded in Shanghai in 1896 and re-established in Hsinchu in 1958, historically strong in electronics and ICT — and National Yang-Ming University (NYMU) in Taipei, historically strong in biomedical sciences. The merger was years in the making: NCTU's council first approved the proposal in 2015, both schools agreed on the shared "Yang Ming Chiao Tung" name in September 2019, and the Ministry of Education approved the plan with a NT$400 million budget in June 2020, before the merged university formally began operating in 2021. Today NYCU spans multiple campuses across Hsinchu and Taipei plus a hospital in Yilan, organized into 19 colleges with 7 national laboratories and 75 research centers, and enrolls more than 20,000 students in total.

國立陽明交通大學於2021年2月1日正式成立，由國立交通大學（1896年創立於上海，1958年於新竹復校，以電子與資通訊見長）與國立陽明大學（位於台北，以生醫科學見長）合併而成。這場合併歷經多年籌備：交大校務會議於2015年首次通過合併提案，兩校於2019年9月確定採用「陽明交通」共同校名，教育部則於2020年6月核准合併計畫並編列新台幣4億元預算，合校最終於2021年正式運作。目前陽明交大橫跨新竹與台北多個校區，並在宜蘭設有附屬醫院，設有19個學院、7個國家級實驗室及75個研究中心，學生總數逾20,000人。
