TAIPEI, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Foundation for International Cooperation in Higher Education of Taiwan (FICHET) announced that it has sent a delegation, led by FICHET President Cheng-Chih Wu, to attend the 33rd Conference and Annual Exhibition of the European Association for International Education (EAIE). As Europe's largest and most representative international educational exchange event, the Conference took place in Rotterdam from September 26 to 29. The delegation included more than 50 representatives from 24 higher education institutions, including 23 Taiwanese universities and FICHET.
"Taiwan's strong presence at the EAIE 2023 Annual Conference underlined our commitment to cross-border academic partnerships, particularly with European countries," said President Wu. "Our dual presence, both physical and virtual, showcased the dynamic and innovative spirit of Taiwan's higher education sector. Through initiatives such as Taiwan Night and the expansion of Taiwan-EU scholarships, we unite continents and academic communities for a more interconnected world.
Adopting this year's conference theme, "Connecting Streams", FICHET's Study in Taiwan brand, which facilitates international students to pursue higher studies in Taiwan, had a presence both physically on-site and virtually on the EAIE virtual platform. The virtual booth highlighted the numerous study and research opportunities at Taiwan's higher education institutions, both online and offline, thus showcasing the range of innovation and technological prowess of Taiwan's higher education industry.
To further encourage cross-border relationship building, FICHET hosted the “Taiwan Night” networking banquet at the Mainport Hotel. This social event served as a pleasant occasion for the Taiwanese universities in the delegation to interact and collaborate with key partners and representatives from sister schools. Around 100 university representatives attended, and the event aimed to strengthen relationships with partner schools while showcasing Taiwan's warm hospitality and cultural spirit.
Taiwan has been continuously promoting academic exchange with European countries in recent years through various measures, such as the "Ministry of Education EU Scholarship", the "New Erasmus Program" and the "Taiwan-Europe Connection Scholarship" . Recently, the "Taiwan-Europe Connection Scholarship" was expanded to offer up to 700 scholarship opportunities to partner universities and their students.
