The Taiwan Forum is a community of scholars and experts from Taiwan and the United States organized in November 2006 with the goal of promoting mutual understanding between the two countries.
The Taiwan Forum is sponsored by the Taiwan Education and Research Program of the Sigur Center for Asian Studies at The George Washington University.
Forum members include visiting scholars from Taiwan, American academics, journalists, members of the policy and diplomatic communities, and graduate students who share a common interest in advancing intellectual and policy-related discussions on contemporary Taiwan-related issues.
The main framework for Forum activities has been the Taiwan Democracy and Security Seminar Series, which meets on a regular basis at the Sigur Center to hear presentations by, and carry out discussions with, leading experts on Taiwan.
Membership in the Taiwan is by invitation or by introduction by other Forum members. Membership inquiries should be addressed to Edward McCord at: mccord@gwu.edu
