Currently, without a national association, most professors, specialists or fellows, who are all experts in their relevant fields within European Studies in Taiwan, usually publish their achievements separately. The ECSA-Taiwan will provide a space for the above mentioned experts to contribute their work collectively whilst offering support to experts in the process. It’s a pity that there wasn’t an effectively organised association of this type in Taiwan previously.On the other hand, there is a large gap between Taiwan and other countriesin terms of research and development in the area of European studies. The establishment of the European Studies Association in Taiwan (ECSA-Taiwan) has had a significant impact in improving the climate for academic exchange. ECSA-Taiwan will become a node of activity in the network of ECSAs worldwide and bring new perspectives into this community. ECSAs have not allowed the specific geographical focus of their subject matter to confine their influence to within the borders of Europe, but instead they have become an important global network. Therefore, the establishment of ECSA-Taiwan will not only bring Taiwan into this network but also help to further expand its reach .ECSA-Taiwan is a non-profit social association whose purpose is to improve and propagate the fields of political science, economy, culture and other relevant disciplines for Taiwan-Europe relations. The missions of the association:1. To promote EU Studies in Taiwanese universities;2. To promote and encourage exchanges between academia in Taiwan and the EU, and further strengthen bilateral understanding and recognition;3. To promote exchanges between Taiwanese and worldwide communities in EU studies4. To promote the awareness of the EU and its policies among the general public.
