Taiwan Conference

For more than 20 years, the Taiwan Studies Program has hosted our country's premier annual conference on Taiwan and fostered enduring relationships with academic and government institutions in the island nation.

The Taiwan Studies Program, with the longstanding support of the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), brings together internationally renowned scholars for its annual Taiwan Conference, the most enduring and substantial event of its kind in the U.S. In addition, the program sponsors colloquia, visiting scholars and artists, cultural events and student research.

Our program encourages undergraduate student exchanges, which gives our students a greater understanding of the geography, culture, politics and economics of Taiwan and Asia. We also stay in touch with our Taiwanese alumni, many of whom have gone on to high-ranking positions in government and business in Taiwan.

This symposium brought together experts on trade and diplomacy to discuss the critical role of Taiwan in supplying the world’s advanced semiconductors (chips).
