History
Initially originated in 258 CE in Nanjing,[1] and in modern time founded in 1915 in Nanjing, the new capital city of the young government of the Republic of China, National Central University moved to Chungking in 1937 when Sino-Japanese War broke out and returned to Nanjing in 1946. After the R.O.C. lost control of the Chinese Mainland in 1949, in Nanjing it was renamed National Nanjing University by CCP. NCU was reinstated in Taiwan in 1962, first as the National Central University Graduate Institute of Geophysics. In 1968, NCU moved to its current location in the Shuanglianpo (雙連坡) district of Jhongli City (中壢市), Taoyuan County (桃園縣), and was renamed the National Central University College of Science. In 1979, it was officially re-established under its current name. More recently, NCU and a few other highly regarded universities established the University System of Taiwan cooperative partnership (2002). The current president is Dr Lou-Chuang Lee.
