4. In 2022, NCUE continued to join the Ministry of Education's project, entrusted to National Taiwan University, to establish a "Gender Mainstreaming Resource Center" at colleges and universities. As a partner institution, we collaborated with 12 other colleges and universities, including National Taiwan University, Chung Shan Medical University, Kaohsiung Medical University, and Hsing Wu University of Science and Technology, to pilot the promotion of gender mainstreaming on our respective campuses. These institutions have worked together to promote gender mainstreaming in their respective schools. The project conducts gender statistics, gender analysis, gender budgeting, gender training, and gender mainstreaming processes to gather the experiences of partner schools to serve as a reference for the Ministry of Education to set up gender mainstreaming resource centers in universities/colleges in the future. NCUE’s Vice Presidents are also actively involved in the gender training program and are committed to working with authorities and other universities to promote gender mainstreaming and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).

Additionally, three female faculty members from our university were recommended and specially trained to represent the school in the "Gender Mainstreaming Seed Teacher Training Workshop": Professor Lin Mei-Chun from the Department of Public Affairs and Civic Education, Professor Chen Mei-Hua from the Graduate Institute of Sports and Health, and Professor Chen Shu-Jung from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering. The aim is to integrate gender mainstreaming into the curriculum and encourage women to apply for underrepresented fields such as politics, sports, and electromechanical engineering. See Figure 4 and 5 for reference.
