The top performersin the Bloomberg Innovation Index, including Japan, the U.S., and Taiwan [1], have also placedvalue on doctoral education. Japan has revealed its vision to improve career prospects for youngresearchers. The U.S. issued guidelines to support University-Industry Cooperation (UIC). InTaiwan, universities receive funds for research and development (R&D) management.However, cultivation of doctoral-level talents across the country has recently faced severalchallenges, including a downward trend in doctoral student enrollment [2]-[3], a high dropoutrate in doctoral programs [4]-[5], and delayed graduation among the doctoral students [6]-[7].In addition
