To cultivate international interest and appreciation of Taiwan’s culture, the R.O.C. Ministry of Culture (hereafter “the Ministry”) is seeking to establish long-term cooperative relationships with professional art and cultural organizations, leading universities, and established media outlets across the globe. The Ministry and partner organizations will both contribute resources to support a diverse array of activities spotlighting Taiwan through cultural dialogue and the arts. Prospective Parties can contact any overseas office or embassy of the R.O.C. Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a consultation.
Cooperative Model
1. Art, cultural, and educational institutions worldwide — including museums, art venues, cultural associations, universities, and research centers — as well as international media and news agencies are invited to apply for the Spotlight Taiwan Project. Applicants with established influence and a capacity for mobilizing public participation or professional networks will receive priority consideration.
2. This global competitive project is designed to encourage both Parties to contribute resources for collective benefit. Applicants who submit proposals for matching funding will receive priority consideration.
3. Applicants who can incorporate the Ministry’s recent programs and outreach objectives with their proposals — such as collaborating with the Ministry’s overseas offices (list: https://www.moc.gov.tw/en/cp.aspx?n=392) or affiliated agencies and foundations (https://www.moc.gov.tw/en/cl.aspx?n=377) to spotlight the country’s culture — will receive priority consideration.
