Description
The Taiwan-US-Europe Policy Program (TUPP) is a competitive two-week initiative administered by the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Launched in 2017 and expanded in 2022 to include European participants, the program aims to cultivate the next generation of American and European policy leaders with a nuanced understanding of Taiwan. TUPP fellows participate in high-level seminars in Washington, D.C., followed by an immersive research trip to Taiwan, where they engage with officials, academics, and experts. The experience is designed to empower fellows to analyze policy challenges involving Taiwan and contribute informed perspectives on US-Taiwan and transatlantic relations.
