Social Responsibility
Our main missions are to cultivate human resources, develop new knowledge, and fulfill our social responsibility.
The goal of the school is to provide students with professional knowledge and to become the elite of society who care for the local community and promote the well-being of society.
Therefore, we have long encouraged our faculty and students to devote energy to teaching and research to serve society.

Building a Friendly Community for Those Suffering from Senile Dementia
The College of Nursing of AU has been implementing the University Social Responsibility Practice Program since 2018, and has been engaged in long-term senile dementia friendly care. During COVID-19, we collaborated with students from the College of Information and Electrical Engineering to form the team, which upgraded the physical smart board game to a smart dementia prevention mobile game, Line sound App. The metaphor of playing board games together remotely online creates a healthy life away from dementia, so that elders can prevent dementia at home.
Prevention and Treatment of Internet Addiction Program
How to solve Internet addiction in teenagers? The Center for Prevention and Treatment of Internet Addiction pioneered a parental teaching and strategy protocol, an Internet-free psychological camp, an effective detoxification program, and a self-control training app combined with an AI real-time detection program to help youth gain a sense of belonging, contentment, accomplishment, and meaning.
AI-USR Practice Base
Smart Teaching, Smart Learning, Smart R&D, Smart Campus and Smart Hospital are our main development goals. We aim to achieve a smart university through the development and application of AI technology. We have established the AI-USR Practice Base in order to demonstrate the characteristics of AI development in our university and to practice university social responsibility through the application of AI.
University Sustainability
We are actively incorporating the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) published by the United Nations into our campus development and are participating in the World University Impact Rankings by The Times Higher Education (THE) since 2019. AU was ranked among the world's top 100 in the categories of Quality Education (SDG 4), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12). This demonstrates the social impact of AU in promoting global environmental, social and economic sustainability.
