College of International Affairs, NCCU

The EU Research Center at the College of International Affairs, National Chengchi University, was established to deepen Taiwan’s research and engagement on issues related to the European Union. Its mission is to promote EU studies, cultivate professional talent, and integrate academic resources both within and beyond the university. In addition to organizing regular conferences and seminars to foster academic dialogue, the Center provides expert analysis and policy consultation on EU-related issues. It also actively collaborates with domestic and international think tanks and scholars to advance joint research projects, thereby enhancing Taiwan’s visibility and impact in the field of EU studies. In terms of governance, the Center is led by a Director and supported by a standing committee, with additional executive and research staff appointed as needed to balance academic development and operational effectiveness. Furthermore, the Center is a member of the Taiwan EU Center Consortium, a seven-university alliance established on September 2, 2008. The consortium includes National Taiwan University, National Chengchi University, Tamkang University, Fu Jen Catholic University, National Dong Hwa University, National Chung Hsing University, and National Sun Yat-sen University. Each member institution designates a liaison office to facilitate inter-university collaboration and resource sharing, thereby strengthening the overall development of EU studies in Taiwan. The Center also works closely with the College’s EU Studies Program and co-organizes academic activities such as EU forums and graduate student thesis conferences with National Taiwan University, fostering scholarly exchange and nurturing the next generation of researchers. Looking ahead, the Center aspires to become a leading hub for EU studies in Taiwan by promoting research and policy dialogue through diverse collaborations and resource integration.
