National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) is one of the top research universities in Taiwan (https://www.nsysu.edu.tw/?Lang=en). It is situated on the seashore of the “Southern Capital City” Kaohsiung which provides convenient international access to the Kaohsiung International Airport and plenty of open space in the city. With a population of 2.7 million and extended subways and bus routes, the seaport-based bustling Kaohsiung city offers vibrant activities seasoned with cuisines from various regions of the world. The campus of NSYSU sits where the mountain and the beach meet, one of the most beautiful sceneries in Taiwan. Based on the proximity to the airport, seaport, and ocean, the College of Marine Sciences was strategically designated as a key by the Education Ministry of Taiwan to attract top scientists since its establishment in the 1980s. The university owns and operates an 800-ton research vessel (https://or3.nsysu.edu.tw/?Lang=en) to support oceanographic research and teaching.
