Working with important domestic and foreign think tanks and educational institutions, TAEF is proud to present the Asian Double Helix Project. The project will collaborate with other partner institutions in incubating social innovation and public governance talents for Taiwan, Asian neighboring states, and other like-minded countries. By hosting workshops and capacity building projects, TAEF aims to provide a constructive regional platform in establishing a common regional community for the next generation.
The institutional partnership at this stage includes the Southeast Asian Studies Center of Chengchi University (focusing on Southeast Asian research affairs and regional research talents), the Philippine Magsaysay Award Foundation (focusing on the dialogue between regional youth and new generation leaders), and the Pacific Forum International (focusing on Asia Pacific International situation and exchanges and cooperation with think tank young leaders), and will also develop institutional relationships with young leaders forums and think tanks in Southeast and South Asia.
Our work focus includes enabling reciprocated exchanges among young leaders, establishing mutual understanding and common working opportunities for the new generation’s transnational community, and also providing support for youth initiatives.
