EU-Taiwan Relations Tracker
Our Mandate
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.
