Implementation of Four GCTF Classic Workshops in 2027
One cooperative agreement funds an implementation partner to provide operational, administrative, and event-support services for four 2027 GCTF Classic workshops in Taiwan on partner-selected global and regional policy topics.
⚑ Cooperative agreement with substantial AIT/partner oversight and policy direction · Primarily funds workshop implementation/logistics, not research · Topics are jointly identified later; awardee must support 4 workshops in calendar year 2027 · Most workshops expected in Taipei, one anticipated in southern Taiwan
This is primarily an implementation/technical-assistance and event-management cooperative agreement for international policy workshops, not a research project in the team’s core survey, risk-perception, warning, education policy, or energy/public opinion lines. The only loose overlap is the resilience/emerging-tech policy theme, but the required work is operational support and coordination rather than PI-level scholarly research.

Description
The American Institute in Taiwan Public Diplomacy Section announces an open competition for one cooperative agreement to support the implementation of four Global Cooperation and Training Framework Classic workshops in Taiwan during calendar year 2027. The GCTF is a capacity building platform that brings together government officials, industry experts, academics, and civil society representatives to exchange practical experience and promote professional cooperation on emerging regional and global challenges. Workshop topics will be jointly identified by GCTF partners and may address resilience, emerging technologies, economic security, trusted supply chains, democratic governance, and other shared priorities. The selected recipient will serve as the implementation partner responsible for comprehensive operational and administrative support, including venue coordination, participant registration, international travel support, interpretation, audiovisual services, workshop materials, vendor coordination, site visits, monitoring and evaluation, and required grant reporting. Most workshops are expected to take place in Taipei, with one anticipated in southern Taiwan. AIT and GCTF partners will provide policy guidance, strategic direction, and substantive oversight. The project is intended to strengthen international cooperation, promote policy dialogue and capacity building, improve continuity across GCTF programming, and advance practical exchanges among government, industry, academia, and civil society.
