The decision to organise the second "Workshop on Taiwan Studies: Taiwan – Past and Present", to be held on August 26-31, 2013, was motivated by the success of the first work­shop in 2010. Since Taiwan Studies and Taiwan-related topics are still underrepresented in degree programmes at European universities, the workshop will be treated as the equivalent of a one-semester course (4 credits). The main emphasis will lie on Taiwanese culture, history, literature, film, and contemporary politics. The wider goal is to promote Taiwan Studies among Eastern and Western European students of Chinese Studies and other, related fields. Students will also be offered practical information about networking possibilities within Europe (EATS, Poland, UK) and study opportunities in Taiwan.
