      明新科技大學原住民族教育發展處，在原住民族委員會(以下簡稱原民會)「建構原住民族教育文化知識體系中長程計畫」經費補助下，核定設置「賽夏族知識研究中心」，3/8(三)上午在校內鴻超樓會議廳辦理「計畫起始會議」，由計畫主持人劉國偉校長主持，該計畫將結合產官學之力，與賽夏族共同推動原民教育與文化發展。賽夏族民族議會總議長朱仁貴(tahes.abey.tidiyun)、北群議長趙山琳(bo:ong a para:in)與部落耆老趙健福頭目，以及產官學界、部落實務工作者等皆出席與會。

      明新科大劉國偉校長表示，在原民會的支持與指導下，明新成立全國唯一是一級單位的原住民發展中心，希望透過學研計畫深耕，認識更多原鄉文化與解決問題。起始會議將初步討論攸關賽夏族的知識架構組成，以利未來原民知識分類與運用。

      明新科大原住民族教育發展處林杏(tiwaS.tara)處長提到，原民會依據原住民族教育法規定，推動「建構原住民族教育文化知識體系中長程計畫」，在111年正式啟動「111年度至112年度補助大專院校設置原住民族知識研究中心計畫」，補助在明新科大設置「賽夏族知識研究中心」，由研究計畫建構原民的知識體系，未來在民族教育裡可以培育賽夏族師資、設計教材等等，來凝聚賽夏文化核心價值。

      明新科大賽夏族知識研究中心，將以田野實作應用科學、資訊之學習型態，強化民族與社會之連結，落實原住民族知識建構，未來延伸發展於賽夏族文化特有應用科學之產業，與賽夏族共同發揚民族教育核心與創新精神。(資料、照片提供/原住民族教育發展處)

Minghsin University of Science and Technology has established the SaySiyat Knowledge Research Center under the funding by the Council of Indigenous Peoples( CIP ). On March 8, 2023, a project kick-off meeting was held on campus, chaired by President and principal investigator Liu Kuo-wei. The project involves collaboration among industry, government, and academia to work together with the SaySiyat People in promoting indigenous education and cultural development. 

President Liu said that with the support and guidance of the CIP, we have established the Aboriginal Education Development Office(原住民族教育發展處) as Level 1 agency in the country. The project aims to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage of the aboriginal tribes and find solutions to related issues through academic research. The purpose of the kick-off meeting was to preliminarily discuss the composition of the SaySiyat knowledge framework, which is critical to the classification and application of indigenous knowledge in the future. 

Dean tiwaS.tara of the Aboriginal Education Development Office mentioned that according to the “Education Act for Indigenous Peoples”, the CIP is promoting "The Long-term Project for the Construction of Educational and Cultural Knowledge System of Indigenous Peoples". In 2022, officially launched "The 2022-2023 Program for Establishing Indigenous Knowledge Research Centers in Colleges and Universities in Taiwan", providing funding for the establishment of the "SaySiyat Knowledge Research Center" at MUST. The research project aims to construct the indigenous knowledge system and consolidate the core values of SaySiyat culture. 

In addition to industry, government, and academia, the meeting also invited tribal elders and representatives from Saisiyat National Council, The Association for the Promotion of Saisiyat People's Culture, Miaoli County, The Association for the Education of Indigenous Peoples, Hsinchu County etc., from various Saisiyat groups to attend. Before the meeting began, President Liu presented letters of appointment to four "collaborative team" schools (Wufeng Junior High School and Elementary School in Hsinchu County, Penglai Elementary School and Donghe Elementary School in Miaoli County), and 17 "consulting committee" experts and scholars from different fields, who will work together to promote SaySiyat indigenous education and cultural inheritance and development. 

The SaySiyat Knowledge Research Center at MUST will construct indigenous knowledge through fieldwork and applied science. In the future, the knowledge can be extended and applied to the unique industries of SaySiyat culture, promoting innovation in indigenous education.
