Abstract

The interdisciplinary studies of Service Science have been well recognized by academics and industries since it was established in 2004–2005. The Institute of Service Science (ISS) in National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) established in 2008 is the first institute dedicated for Service Science research and education in Taiwan. The master and doctoral programs were designed for interdisciplinary studies of Service Science composed of service management, design, and engineering embedded with humanity as the foundation. This article shares the structure of ISS curriculum and the innovated programs for cultivating Service Science professionals with humanitarian capacity, and the promotion of Service Science by joining the efforts of Service Science Society of Taiwan sponsored by Sayling Wen Cultural and Educational Foundation. The article ends with the reflection and future directions of developing Service Science discipline in Taiwan.
