TKU actively participates in international collaboration on gathering or measuring data for the SDGs:
1. The Synchrotron Radiation Research Team from the Department of Physics signed a contract with the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center to establish an advanced research laboratory for the development of nanomaterials and energy technology. The team published four international-collaborated papers in 2020 and another two in 2021.
2. The Department of Chemistry is collaborating with Tay Nguyen University (TNU) in Vietnam to conduct a research on the benefits and risks associated with inhibitor therapy in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
3. The Department of Chemistry has been collaborating with TNU and HCMUT (Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology) to publish research papers on ending poverty, health care, and water resources.
4. The research team led by the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering of TKU teamed up with the National Taiwan University in advancing the Typhoon-Related Flood Forecasts System, using AI technology to predict flood patterns two days in advance based on projected typhoon tracking, significantly enhancing the timing accuracy of flood warning, as well as the effectiveness of reservoir flood control and integrated water resources management. This study was published in the internationally-renowned journal, Nature Communications. The team also cooperated with the Malaysian government to assist Malaysia in building a regional flood forecasting system.

The teachers and students from the Department of Information and Library Science set up a public digital collaboratively-editing online website, Tamsui Wiki, to introduce and record the culture and humanity in Tamsui. Since 2021, the team has extended the field of practice to Malaysia and set up the Malaysian Chinese Wiki. From September 2013 to December 2021, the cumulative total number of page views has reached more than 2.83 million times. There are more than 1.13 million cumulative users in 149 countries or regions around the world.
