In the lead-up to its centenary celebration in 2028, Academia Sinica has officially launched a call for submissions for its “Centenary Slogan,” running from now through Sunday, December 6, 2026. Open to current colleagues, Academicians, and alumni, the competition aims to highlight Academia Sinica’s longstanding commitment to advancing basic research, responding to societal needs, and playing a leading role in international scholarship, while fostering a shared institutional identity and pride. The selected slogan will be an important element in the centenary celebration and will be used in related anniversary activities.
Submissions are welcome in either Chinese or English. Entries should reflect both a century of academic heritage and a forward-looking vision, while being concise, impactful, and easy to communicate. Entrants must also provide a concise statement outlining the core concept and rationale behind their work.
Following the submission deadline, entries will be assessed through preliminary and final reviews conducted by committees involved in Academia Sinica’s centenary preparations. The top three entries will be awarded NT$10,000, NT$8,000, and NT$6,000, and an official certificate; two Merit Award winners will each receive NT$3,000 and a certificate. The list of winners will be announced in January 2027.
All submissions must be made online at https://slogan.anniversary.sinica.edu.tw. All members of the Academia Sinica community are warmly encouraged to take part—using concise words to honor a century of scholarly depth, envision the future, and leave an indelible mark on this historic milestone.
