The establishment of the European Association of Taiwan Studies (EATS) was enabled by a Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation Grant to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London in 2004. The grant was designed to foster a community of interest among specialists working in European universities and research institutions on Taiwan-related topics in areas of the social sciences, humanities, language and culture. EATS formally obtained the legal status of a registered civil association in April 2010 according to German law.
