This winter, the Vienna Center for Taiwan Studies hosts two  special experts: First, we have our first-ever speaker from Shih Hsin University in Taipei, Hong-chi Shiau. Secondly, we continue the cooperation with National Kaohsiung University in the South. Previously, all Vienna contacts have been in the North. Just recently,  the list of Taiwan partner universities of the University of Vienna became “South-.bound” with the inclusion of National Chiao-Tung University in Hsinchu.. . With NUK guest speaker Lin Ya-huei, we also hope to strengthen our expertise in the literature field.
