The Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange’s CCK Lecture Series supports academic institutions in Europe hosting distinguished scholars for public lectures. Institutions may apply individually or collaboratively for projects advancing Chinese Studies in the humanities and social sciences. Each series is expected to include at least six public lectures over one to three years, and the lecture contents must be published.
Priority is given to collaborative projects involving institutions in Taiwan, and projects on Taiwan Studies are especially encouraged. Grants support invited lecturers’ transportation, honoraria, and stipends, with limited additional support considered in special cases. Although publication is required, publication costs are excluded from this program.
