2. We promote academic and cultural exchanges between universities and research institutions, groups, and units related to Hakka research within the country  and abroad.
3. We hold academic lectures, seminars, workshops, training courses related to Hakka.
4. We also deal with other matters related to international Hakka research and the development of Taiwan Hakka, including Hakka research in Taiwan, mainland China, Southeast Asia and global regions.
5. Regarding the construction of Hakka studies, in addition to the original "Introduction to Hakka", we hope to  offer more Hakka research courses through the integrated operation of the General Knowledge Center, scuh as "Hakka Literature" and "Hakka Language and Culture" , "Hakka Folk Song", and "Hakka Cultural Creation",so on.
