TAP in Bochum held a workshop on 'Digital Teaching and Digital Humanities in Taiwan Studies', which was officially opened on 30 September. The Director of the National Museum of Taiwan History, Dr.Chang Lung-Chih, gave a keynote speech entitled 'Facing up to the digital turn in the museums: a field report from NMTH'. He gave a thorough account of the achievements of the National Museum of Taiwan History in the field of digitisation in recent years, and also presented the digital achievements of the National Cultural Memory 2.0.
The three-day workshop focused on four main themes: 'Taiwanisation and Reinvention', 'Digital Retrieval Systems and Innovation', 'AI in Education and Schools', and 'Digital Visualisation for Research'. Several scholars from all over Europe participated in the discussions and exchanges, and the participants also visited the educational photography exhibition' Motor der Moderne: Bildung in Taiwan, 1900-1950' at the library and the famous Chinese garden 'Qian Yuan' on the campus.
During the meeting, TAP project members reported on the latest research progress, with Dr Josie-Marie Perkuhn and Dr Thomas Fliß from the Department of Sinology at the University of Trier and Dr Hsu Yu-Yin, sharing information on the current status of the 'TAP HUB' database.
From March 18 to 20, 2024, Dr. Josie-Marie Perkuhn, Dr. Thomas Fliß and Dr. Amélie Keyser-Verreault visited Dr. Hsu Yu-Yin in Bochum for the internal Workshop. Julia Zachulski also joined them in their fruity discussion, while other assistants, such as Yi-syuan Wu and Damir Padieu, joined online to discuss the retrospect and database further. Besides these topics, the TAP members also talked about future internal and external collaborations, the Travel Grant of 2024 and the TAP international workshop in Bochum later this year.

To reflect on new trends in Taiwan studies, the 2023 International Workshop in Tübingen brought together several young scholars and researchers working on Taiwan from 4 to 6 October. In this three-day discussion, TAP members shared the latest advances in their research and invited scholars to present their methodologies on Taiwan issues in various fields.
From January 10 to 13, 2023, Dr. Hsu and Dr. Fliß joined Dr. Keyser-Verreault at the ERCCT for the internal TAP workshop. Dr. Perkuhn participated online. Among other things, they discussed the further collaborations between the TAP members, the digital database, and methodologies.
The TAP team also met with Dr. Chen Teng-Hsiang, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Sinology of the Academia Sinica and newly appointed visiting fellow at the ERCCT. They discussed with him the pioneering nature of the religious phenomenon he studies, opening the door to future collaborations.
The Mapping Research on Taiwan workshop brings together young scholars and researchers working on Taiwan to reflect on new trends in Taiwan research.
The workshop has three major goals:
The initial TAP Workshop took place from 4–6 May 2022 in Trier. This internal Workshop was the first opportunity for the involved postdoc researchers to meet in person. The main topic focused on the joint task to establish a digital infrastructure for research data. In addition, the workshop participants gained interesting insights from lecturer Ms. Wu Yi-syuan about the Taiwan Fellowship Program and digital research databases in Taiwan.
