In order to implement this consensus, the Ministry of Education began promoting the five-year "University Excellence Initiative" in 2000, providing funds to universities for cross-disciplinary research, including development plans and integration of research universities.
為了落實這項共識，教育部自二千年起，推動五年期的「大學追求卓越發展計劃」，補助各大學進行跨領域的整合研究，包括卓越發展計畫、研究型大學整合計畫等。
