On 18 September 2024, directors, research officers, and staff of the Assessment, Curriculum, and Technology Research Centre (ACTRC), headed by incoming Director Dr. Marlene Ferido and outgoing Director Marie Therese Bustos, visited the Faculty of Education of the National Kaohsiung Normal University (NKNU) in Taiwan to learn about each otherโ€™s research practices and projects and to explore future research collaborations. The ACTRC team likewise met NKNU President, Dr Cheng-Yen, Wang along with other NKNU officials: Dr. Chen-Cheng, Chun (Director of International Affairs) and Dr. Jen-Chun, Wang (Director of the Office of Research and Development). A short program was hosted by the Faculty of Education, with presentations by Dean Dr Der-Long, Fang who introduced NKNU, Dr. Jen-Chun, Wang who discussed the research profile of NKNU, Dr. Pi-Chi, Han who talked about research projects of the Research Center for Adult Education, and Dr Meng-Jun, Liu who presented the profile of the Department of Special Education. Similarly, the ACTRC team introduced UP and ACTRCโ€™s profile and research agenda and projects through video presentations.
