| Abstract: |
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action through strategic alliances. Higher educational institutions (HEIs) are key contributors to achieving the SDGs, since education, research and innovation are essential in supporting sustainable development. However, each institution may focus on different academic disciplines that correspond to different SDGs, the current study proposed that forming a strategic alliance may facilitate SDG-related research. The current research examines the strategic alliance between the National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) and Kaohsiung Medical University (KMU) in Taiwan. Data on research publications were obtained from the Scopus database between 2004 and 2020, regression analysis was used to compare the changes regarding research productivity that corresponds to relevant indicators among SDGs before and after the strategic alliance occurred in 2012. Furthermore, qualitative data of the educational and community sustainable development promotion after strategic alliance will be collected by case study. In sum, the paper sheds light on a better understanding of the strategic alliances between two institutions with different orientations in Taiwan that can be used as a reference in higher education to promote the sustainable development of higher education.
