This training is a regular program by the Commission to support the enhancement of human rights expertise among university staff, following the revision of the Higher Education Act that made it mandatory for all universities to establish a human rights center. Since 2021, the Commission has operated annual training courses to strengthen the human rights capacity of university human rights centers.

This year's "Investigator School" is specifically designed to strengthen investigative capabilities regarding human rights and gender equality cases, and consists mainly of practical, case-based training. The curriculum focuses on practical skills such as reviewing investigation subjects, understanding evidence and investigation methods, identifying key issues, investigation methodologies, and report writing.

An official from the Human Rights Office stated, "Through this training program, we hope that university human rights centers in the region will be able to make a practical contribution to investigating human rights cases, and that their cooperative relationship with the Commission will become even stronger in the future."
