Since Academia Sinica held the first World Congress of Taiwan Studies (WCTS) in 2012, this event has been organized triennially, in 2015 at SOAS University of London, and in 2018 back at AS. Sessions covered topics in fields such as literature, history, art, religion, economics, sociology, political science, law, archaeology, environmental change, linguistics, and Austronesian studies. In 2018, a total of 118 scholars took part in the World Congress representing 15 countries, including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and France. AS hopes that Taiwan Studies can exert greater influence in the academic world through this international scholarly platform. “The World Congress of Taiwan Studies brings scholars from Taiwan and abroad together to share their latest research findings, exchange opinions, and create opportunities for future academic collaboration. We hope to stimulate research in Taiwan Studies worldwide through strengthening international collaboration networks and raising awareness in this discipline.” –Introduction to the World Congress of Taiwan Studies World Congress of Taiwan Studies: Presenting Taiwan Research to the World
