Taipei, April 13 (CNA) The Ministry of Culture (MOC) and Fulbright Taiwan announced Friday that a new program has opened for applications, offering grants for three spots for Taiwanese professionals in art administration to travel to the United States for a three-month training program.

A memorandum of understanding for the new grant was signed at a Friday event by the MOC’s Samuel S.K. Wu (吳紹開), director-general of the Department of Cultural Exchange, and William Vocke, executive director of the Fulbright Taiwan Foundation for Scholarly Exchange.

According to Wu, the program has been two years in the making, based on an idea that he proposed to the Fulbright Program during his first visit to the U.S. after taking up his current position as director-general.    [FULL  STORY]
