Dear Colleagues,
For far too long, Taiwan’s voice has been underrepresented in international discussions on the Indo-Pacific, regional security, and cross-Strait affairs. As a result, Taiwan’s own perspectives often receive limited attention.
To help address this gap, we have launched the Taiwan Advocacy Project to strengthen Taiwan’s voice in international public discourse. Through a publication incentive program, we seek to encourage Taiwanese scholars, researchers, policy professionals, and graduate students to contribute commentaries and opinion pieces to leading international media outlets.
While the initiative places particular emphasis on national security, defense, and regional affairs, we also welcome submissions on a wide range of topics relevant to Taiwan, including economics, trade, technology, law, public policy, culture, education, and society. Articles in these fields are equally eligible for consideration under the program’s award scheme, as strengthening Taiwan’s international voice requires contributions across multiple domains.
To support these efforts, we provide financial awards for articles published in international media outlets. Depending on the publication and its level of influence, awards range from NT$5,000 to NT$100,000. Articles exceeding 1,600 words are eligible for a 50 percent bonus. We also encourage co-authorship with foreign experts, provided that the Taiwanese contributor serves as the lead author.
We would particularly like to encourage Taiwanese graduate students and early-career scholars studying overseas to participate. Your academic expertise, international exposure, and understanding of Taiwan’s opportunities and challenges position you to make meaningful contributions to international policy and public debates.
If you are interested in learning more about the program, eligible publications, and submission guidelines, please visit https://taiwanadvocacy.org/ or contact us directly at committee@taiwanadvocacy.org.
We would be grateful if you could also share this opportunity with fellow Taiwanese students, researchers, and professionals within your network.
Sincerely,
Holmes Liao
Taiwan Advocacy Project
