暨大國際長葉家瑜表示，這段跨國學術情誼源於今（2025）年4月在維也納舉行的「2025 臺灣－奧地利高等教育論壇」，當時與Sandra Bellet主任理念契合，促成了此次將暨大列為臺灣交流重點學校的契，讓遠道而來的奧地利學者感受臺灣的在地文化與熱情。
在學術交流方面，暨大國際處安排訪團於12月12日觀摩外文系徐孝先老師開設的「歷史系跨域專業學術英文(一)：文本解析與書寫」課程，並參訪圖書館、語言中心及由原專班學生親手闢建的原住民保留地。透過實地走訪，PHV訪團深入了解暨大在高等教育EMI教學、國小雙語師資培育及南島文化保存上的具體實踐與成果。
NCNU Director of International Affairs Yeh Chia-Yu explained that this cross-border academic connection began at the “2025 Taiwan–Austria Higher Education Forum,” held in Vienna in April 2025. During the forum, she found common ground with Director Sandra Bellet, paving the way for NCNU to be designated as a key partner university in Taiwan for this exchange. The visit provided the Austrian scholars, who had traveled a long way, with an opportunity to experience Taiwan’s local culture and warm hospitality.
In terms of academic exchange, NCNU’s Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs arranged for the delegation to observe the course “Interdisciplinary Academic English for History (I): Textual Analysis and Writing,” taught by Professor Hsu Hsiao-Hsien of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, on December 12. The delegation also visited the university library, Language Center, and an Indigenous reserved area developed by students from the Indigenous Studies Program. Through these on-site visits, the PHV delegation gained a deeper understanding of NCNU’s practical initiatives and achievements in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher education, bilingual teacher training for elementary schools, and the preservation of Austronesian cultures.
