Prof. Rošker received the Taiwan-France Cultural Award

The "Taiwan-France Cultural Award," jointly established by the Ministry of Culture and the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences under the Institut de France, hosted its 25th awards ceremony at the institute in Paris on March 1.

The two recipients of the 25th Taiwan-France Cultural Award were Asian and African Studies professor Jana S. Rošker of the University of Ljubljana and Wu Kun-yung (吳坤墉), general planner of the book series "Collection Critique socio-politique (人文批判)" published by Editions Utopie (無境文化).

Professor Jana has visited Taiwan many times for research since 1994. After returning to Slovenia, she founded the Department of Asian and African Studies at the University of Ljubljana. In recent years, she has devoted herself to exploring Taiwan’s modern and contemporary philosophy, and has brought to light the contributions made by Taiwanese philosophers to the field and introduced to European academic circles.

In 2019, she published several articles on the role Taiwanese philosophy plays in the transmission of Eastern philosophical traditions, while at the same time promoted cooperation between universities in Slovenia and Taiwan in hopes of deepening cultural ties between Taiwan and Europe.
