About
In 2002, domestic scholars Chang Wei-An, Wu Chyi-In, Tseng Shu-Fen, Jai Ben-Ray, and Kuo Liang-Wen participated in the Internet and Society Seminar held by Kung Hsiang-Tsung, a member of the Academia Sinica, at Harvard University.
They identified an urgent need for an academic organization for information technology in Taiwan and therefore founded the Taiwan Academy for Information Society.
