Participating Universities/Institutions
Taipei Medical University (Taiwan)
Taipei Medical University (TMU), established in 1960, comprises 11 colleges, one General Education Center, and a student body of over 6,000, with nearly 50,000 alumni worldwide. The university is affiliated with seven medical institutions and is recognized for its strong emphasis on clinical translational research, particularly in cancer, neuroscience, pulmonary medicine, biomedical devices, cell therapy, and artificial intelligence in healthcare. TMU also operates a Clinical Data Center and a comprehensive biobank infrastructure to advance AI-driven real-world data research. In 2025, TMU’s College of Nursing was ranked 27th globally by QS, making it the top-ranked program in Taiwan and reinforcing its leadership in global nursing education.
Tohoku University (Japan)
Tohoku University was established as Japan’s third national university in 1907. Japan’s third national university in 1907. Located on the ancient site of Aoba Castle in Sendai City, Tohoku University is proud to be ranked among Japan’s leading universities. In 1911, Vice Minister of Education Masataro Sawayanagi, moved to Sendai to become Tohoku University’s first president. Sawayanagi firmly believed that academic research should be integrated with education. He also believed that a university should not discriminate based on class or gender. Following this principle, Tohoku University accepted graduates from technical and higher normal schools, and despite opposition from the government at that time, became Japan’s first university to admit female students in 1913.
The Texas Heart Institute (USA)
The Texas Heart Institute (THI), established in Houston in 1962 by Dr. Denton Cooley, is a nonprofit leader in cardiovascular innovation. Its research spans five key translational themes: artificial hearts and heart‑assist devices; regenerative medicine and gene therapy; arrhythmia mechanisms and electrophysiology; molecular cardiology; and invasive device engineering. THI’s IDEA Lab designs and tests next-gen ventricular assist devices and minimally invasive technologies, while its Regenerative Medicine Research Department pioneers bio-artificial organs and stem-cell treatments. Its Center for Clinical Research coordinates trials converting discoveries into therapies.
University of Cagliari (Italy)
Established in 1606, the University of Cagliari is a public research institution in Sardinia with ~36,000 students and over 1,200 academic staff. UniCA advances multidisciplinary research across its 15 departments, including life and environmental sciences, engineering, medicine, and humanities. Highly active in marine biology, ecology, neuroscience, and pharmacology, UniCA collaborates internationally on EU‑ and NIH‑funded projects exceeding €40 million in over 100 initiatives. Support infrastructure includes the CeSAR research services, IRIS open science system, and comprehensive labs and service centres that facilitate innovation and technology transfer.
University of Lille (France)
The University of Lille is a leading French public research institution with over 80,000 students and nearly 8,000 staff, including 64 dedicated research laboratories and 11 major national/international infrastructure platforms. It excels in multidisciplinary domains: materials and nanoscience via IEMN, energy and electronics in L2EP, plant sciences and food biotech through BIOECOAGRO, and digital health innovation at CIC‑IT. Federative structures like the Hauts‑de‑France Mathematical Research Federation and digital‑heritage networks foster cross‑disciplinary breakthroughs. Situated in the heart of northwestern Europe, it drives innovation through regional and international consortia.
