本處沿革 History
民國八十一年十一月，為規劃、推動及整合全校進修班、各研究中心及學術研究與發展有關事宜，東海大學行政會議通過「研究發展委員會組織章程」；民國八十二年五月，董事會通過將研究發展室改為研究發展處。東海大學研究發展處設立初期，適逢高等教育環境逐步加速變化的時代，為順應時勢、綜理全校研發事務，積極掌握主客觀環境，本著前瞻創新的精神規劃重點研發事項，以期求新求變爭取先機。歷經三十年的經營與推動，於整合校務發展計畫及提升全校研究質量上，已見顯著成效。
In November 1992, the Tunghai University Administrative Affairs Meeting passed the "Organizational Charter of the Research and Development Committee" to plan, promote, and integrate THU's in-service programs, research centers, and academic research and development. In May 1993, the Research and Development Committee was restructured as the Office of Research and Development. The early years of the THU Office of Research and Development coincided with the rapid and prolific rise of higher education in Taiwan. To adapt to the times and ensure effective management over the university's research and development, the Office sought to keep abreast of the changing landscape in the hopes of capitalizing on innovative opportunities by spotlighting forward-thinking and innovative R&D affairs. After three decades, the Office has achieved significant success in the University Development Plan and in strengthening the research quality produced by THU.
研究發展處業務由初期的「編撰校務發展計畫」、「協助教師申請研究計畫補助」等，隨後具體將業務區分為「校務發展」與「學術研究」兩大層面領域。校務發展部分，除研擬學校之發展計畫外，也辦理全校性自我評鑑計畫。學術研究部分，則以推動及整合研發量能、促進產學合作以及統籌全校貴重儀器和研究中心為主，並展開跨領域/跨院系之特色研究與創新教學模式，致力學術網絡、創研能量、學術獎勵、人才培育以及產研合作等重點項目。
In the beginning, the Office of Research and Development was tasked to compile the University Development Plan and support faculty members with research project funding applications. Later on, our task was expanded and separated into two larger categories: University Development and Academic Research. For University Development, the Office compiles THU's University Development Plan and organizes self-evaluation programs at the university level. For Academic Research, we facilitate and integrate R&D capabilities, encourage industry-academia cooperation, and coordinate THU's invaluable instruments and research centers. In addition, the Office offers interdisciplinary/interdepartmental research and innovative teaching models to spotlight key projects in academic networks, innovative research capacity, academic incentives, talent cultivation, and industry-academia cooperation.
