WHAT IS USR？ 

            教育部推動大專校院社會責任實踐計畫（University Social Responsibility，簡稱USR），以「在地連結」為核心，並透過人文關懷與協助解決區域問題之概念，強調大學的社會責任，聚焦於區域或在地特色發展所需或未來願景，帶動各地區的繁榮與發展，透過更主動積極連結區域學校資源，協助城鄉教育發展，讓大學能夠對於區域及在地有更多的貢獻與照顧，促進在地產學人才培育、就業，並創新城鄉、產業及文化發展。 

             Initiated by Ministry of Education, the University Social Responsibility (USR) is a concept to solve regional issues through humanity care and assistance, on the basis of “local linking”. Emphasizing social responsibility, the program focuses on regional specialty, development needs or future vision, enhances area prosperity and advancement. By active connection with local schools, the program supports urban/village education, yields better contribution to regional area, enhances local industry manpower and job allocation, renovates city/village, the business and culture, as a university.
 

清華大學USR、Hub政策與推動計畫　
Policy and Promotion Programme of Tsinghua University, USR, Hub

• 政策願景　Vision of Policy

百年新竹城鄉，從清代東西向米穀貿易，到日治時期發展臺三線南北向樟腦茶葉全球貿易，以伙房小農戶作為生產單位扮演世界工廠，新竹舊城與臺三線維持穩定的並存關係，城鄉關係互動良好，地方社會內部動能充沛。
        戰後迄今七十年，新竹成為全球科技生產重鎮，竹科成為單一中心，大新竹城鄉結構日趨失衡，貧富差距日益擴大、地方社會逐步弱化，陷入全面性的困境。
清華作為新竹城鄉永續發展的行動者，在學術發展追求國際競爭力之時，同時以在地為社會實踐基地，發展接地型學術，培育地方行動者，朝向地方永續、安居城鄉的政策願景。

           Hundred years of Hsinchu city and country, from the trade of East-West rice and grain in the Qing Dynasty to the global trading of camphor and tea leaves along the North-South direction of the Taiwan Route Three developed in Japanese colonial period. The small farmer became world factory as the production unit. Hsinchu Old Town and Taiwan Route Three have maintained a stable co-existing relationship. Positive interaction between urban and rural areas. Plenty of internal dynamics in the local community.
           Seventy years after the war, Hsinchu becomes a global technology manufacturing centre. Hsinchu Science Park becomes a single highlight. The growing imbalance between urban and rural structures, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the gradual weakening of local community, these lead us stuck into a comprehensive dilemma.
            National Tsing Hua University as the actor for sustainability in Hsinchu urban and rural, when the time of academic development in pursuit of international competitiveness, we are using the local community as a base for social practice, development of grounded academic, nurturing local actors towards local sustainability and policy vision for a happiness life in the city and the countryside.

　　   National Tsing Hua University organized The Local Sustainability Forum in November 2022. The forum has invited Deputy Chairman, Minn-Tsong Lin in National Science and Technology Council, Wayne Wang as a Director General in Hsinchu Science Park Bureau, USR programme team members in National Tsing Hua University, and friends in the communities to discuss the connection between Hsinchu Science Park development and local sustainability. Two conclusions were drawn from the meeting.
　　1. 40 Years of ignoring social needs, it is time for Hsinchu Science Park to change. There are the needs for a change in the technology industry patterns. We must value our people, environmental protection, labour rights, our towns, and local communities in the common living area.
　　2. The end of the university should proactively initiate collaboration with Hsinchu Science Park and the Bureau to promote the corporate social responsibility of Hsinchu Science Park. To help Hsinchu Science Park respond to the needs of the community, and make technology and society compatible. 

　　After the forum, National Tsing Hua University teams continued to promote Hsinchu Science Park ESG Program, 22 greater Hsinchu local communities were invited, including the multiple areas of education, culture, care, agriculture and rural, energy, and circular economy. We will continue to facilitate the collaboration relationships among Hsinchu Science Park manufacturers, scientific and technical talents, and local communities.
