Review and prospective: the challenge and opportunity of Taiwan’s past, present and future
A roundtable format is chosen, in line with that planned for year one, in order to provide as free a scope as possible for participants, including scholars, policy makers, and opinion leaders from various countries including those from the EU, North America and Taiwan to brainstorm and review the democratization process and social changes in Taiwan.
This year the TSP's conference will take place on 27/28 June. This invitation is not limited only to the students/junior researchers of University of Nottingham, but to all UK universities. A case by case subsidy for transportation fees for PhD and post-doc researchers will be considered. If you are interested in attending our annual conference, please contact the TSP's administrator Mandy Felton .
