Europe-Taiwan Forum
The Europe–Taiwan Institute is a new, non-partisan think tank dedicated to second-track (Track II) dialogue and practical research collaboration between European stakeholders and Taiwan. We convene trusted, off-the-record discussions and co-produce applied research that turns shared values into workable policy and market outcomes.
Expert Architecture Services
We exist to make Europe–Taiwan cooperation concrete—from ideas to implementable plans. The Institute’s mandate is threefold:
Dialogue: curate small, off-the-record exchanges that surface constraints and unlock options.
Research: generate comparative, policy-ready analysis and tools that practitioners can use.
Collaboration: build durable networks across government, academia, and industry that outlast any single event or news cycle.
Research Pillars
Our work is organised around focused, outcome-oriented pillars:
Global Governance & Rule of Law: meaningful participation, standards, and best-practice transfer.
Trade, Investment & Supply Chains: resilient, green, and secure value chains; SME internationalisation.
Digital & Innovation Security: cyber resilience, critical infrastructure protection, disinformation counter-measures, and semiconductor ecosystem governance.
Defence, Maritime & Hybrid Threats: practical confidence-building, crisis communications, and civil preparedness.
Cross-cutting themes—human rights due diligence, sustainability, and talent mobility—are embedded across all pillars.
Programmes & Methods
We run a year-round mix of programmes designed to produce tangible next steps:
Track II Dialogues: curated, Chatham House Rule roundtables (12–25 participants) with pre-reads and post-dialogue non-attributed notes capturing options, blockers, and owners for follow-up.
Policy Labs & Working Groups: time-boxed sprints (6–12 weeks) to co-design frameworks, model clauses, playbooks, or pilot blueprints.
Joint Research & Fellowships: co-authored briefs and working papers, visiting-scholar residencies, and practitioner fellowships linking EU and Taiwanese institutions.
Data & Tooling: compact datasets, checklists, and implementation guides that organisations can deploy immediately.
Outputs & Engagement
What partners get from us is usable: policy briefs, implementation toolkits, model MOUs/clauses, training modules, and stakeholder maps—each with clear owners, timelines, and indicators.
How to engage:
Institutional Partners: co-chair a pillar, host a Dialogue, or commission applied research.
Fellows & Scholars: join a working group or residency to co-author outputs.
Sponsors: support a programme line with transparent governance and clear KPIs.
Community: subscribe to updates, attend public salons, and access select resources.
The Institute provides a neutral convening space, disciplined project management, and a commitment to practical, replicable outcomes that strengthen Europe–Taiwan cooperation over the long term.
