National Taiwan University was delighted to welcome The GR Company to campus last week for a special joint Information Session on internship opportunities in government relations, public affairs, and strategic policy engagement.

Professor Kuo-Hsin Yang, NTU AVP for International Affairs, opened the evening by highlighting the importance of connecting academic learning with real-world policy environments—an area in which The GR Company has established deep expertise across Asia and worldwide.

A formal signing ceremony marked The GR Company’s entry into NTU’s International Mentorship Program (IMP), a meaningful step that deepens our collaboration and creates new opportunities for our students. Through this partnership, GR Taiwan of The GR Company, will join IMP in Summer 2026 and offer a new Public Affairs Intern position—an exciting role that will allow students to work closely with the company’s government relations experts, engage with real policy and regulatory issues, and gain first-hand experience in public affairs and cross-sector stakeholder engagement.

We were also grateful to reflect on this summer’s Overseas Internship Program, where two NTU students completed internships at GR Korea and GR Japan. Their presentations offered insights into policy research, media monitoring, stakeholder mapping, and the fast-paced world of public affairs consulting—showing the value of learning directly from practitioners shaping policy conversations across the region.

As NTU continues expanding its network of high-impact partners, we express our sincere appreciation to The GR Company—including colleagues from the Taipei office—and to Jakob Edberg and Juyun Moon for joining us on campus. We also extend heartfelt thanks to the two NTU students who shared their internship stories and to all attendees whose enthusiasm made the evening so memorable.

We look forward to deepening this partnership and to the opportunities it will create for NTU students in the years ahead.
