The European Union Centre in Taiwan (EUTW; Chinese: 臺灣歐洲聯盟中心; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân Au-chiu Liân-bêng Tiong-sim) is part of a global network of European Union Centres of Excellence and a university alliance in Taiwan. Following the launch of EU Centres of Excellence in the US and Canada in 1998, there are now 37 Centres located in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, New Zealand, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States.[1]
The Taiwan Centre, the first in Eastern Asia, opened in 2009, funded by European Commission. It is a partnership between the European Commission, National Taiwan University, National Chengchi University, National Dong Hwa University, National Chung Hsing University, National Sun Yat-sen University, Fu Jen Catholic University, and Tamkang University. Its aim is to promote knowledge of the European Union and its policies. It organises speaker events, discussions and exhibitions; publishes books, papers and teaching materials; and sends staff to visit schools and colleges in Taiwan.[2]
