此外，適逢學會與ENCATC合作近10年的里程碑，吳介祥理事長於受邀大會開幕致詞中，向大家介紹TACPS創立以及開展臺灣國際文化政策研究網絡的經驗。
以下為該致詞全文：
Dear ENCATC members and friends from around the world, I am deeply honored to introduce the Taiwan Association of Cultural Policy Studies (TACPS) and highlight our decade-long collaboration with ENCATC. TACPS was founded in May 2015, and just a few months later, we had the privilege of welcoming ENCATC to Taipei. In 2017, TACPS and ENCATC formalized a protocol for exchange to foster further collaborations. That same year, TACPS, ENCATC, and AAAE launched the Brussels Manifesto on Arts Management, Culture Management, and Policy Education. I am thrilled that Jerry Liu, who signed these agreements, is here with his students at this year’s ENCATC Congress, and our board member Dr. Ku, to present their latest research.
TACPS is an independent, not-for-profit organization with members drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including cultural policy, arts management, cultural heritage, performing and visual arts, art criticism, community regeneration, film and media studies, and international cultural relations. Our mission is to provide an open, accessible platform for knowledge sharing and to foster a public sphere that encourages cultural collaboration, dialogue, and informed debate. We engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders—academics, NPOs, cultural enterprises, creative industries, and governmental cultural institutions, both in Taiwan and internationally.
TACPS was founded just a year after Taiwan’s Sunflower Movement, a student-led initiative that protested trade treaties perceived as threats to Taiwan’s political, economic, and cultural sovereignty. This movement marked a new chapter in the nation’s democratic evolution. During this period, we became acutely aware of culture’s essential role in reinforcing democracy. Democracy involves more than just formal processes; it requires ongoing efforts to uphold values such as equality, sustainability, accountability to future generations and the environment, and fostering reciprocity between communities and groups. We also became increasingly conscious of our influence on official cultural policies and the ways in which politics seeks to engage with culture.
Over the past decade, with these experiences from Taiwan, TACPS has greatly benefited not only from ENCATC’s wealth of knowledge but also from its dynamic and ever-inspiring spirit. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and continue to present Taiwan’s contributions to cultural studies, we are especially delighted to introduce ENCATC to our young scholars and share our enthusiasm for future collaborations. I sincerely look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years to come. Thank you!
