Description
The Taiwan-US-Europe Policy Program (TUPP), run by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, is a two-week fellowship for emerging American and European policy leaders. Launched in 2017 and expanded to European participants in 2022, it builds firsthand understanding of Taiwan’s perspectives on cross-strait matters, its global role, and US-Taiwan relations.
The program begins with three days of briefings in Washington, D.C., led by US officials, academics, and think tank experts. Fellows then travel to several cities in Taiwan, meeting representatives of government, business, nongovernmental organizations, and academia while exploring Taiwan’s culture, history, and politics. These experiences prepare participants to analyze future challenges involving Taiwan and undertake informed policy analysis.
