CCS News and Activities(Vol.51 No.2)

At noon on February 5, 2020, National Central Library's Center for Chinese Studies (CCS) held a tea gathering for recipients of the Chinese studies research grant. It is hope that in addition to their research, foreign scholars can better understand the cultural connotation behind traditional celebrations in Taiwan. To that end, the Center for Chinese Studies especially arranged for foreign scholars to enjoy this time together. In 1989, NCL began offering research grants to foreign scholars to conduct research on Chinese studies in Taiwan. To date the program has been running for 30 years, with scholars having come from more than 40 countries. Each year, in addition to providing Chinese studies grants, CCS also processes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Taiwan Fellowship applications.
