On August 16, 1988, the Taiwan Research Association (later known as the National Taiwan Research Association) was established.^[1] Its purpose was to build a platform for exchange for experts and scholars engaged in the study of Taiwan issues and cross-strait relations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and at home and abroad, to promote academic activities, enhance exchanges, friendship and cooperation among scholars, and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the Chinese unification.^[2]

Since 1991, the National Taiwan Studies Association, the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots and the Institute of Taiwan Studies habe jointly hosted the "Cross-Strait Relations Academic Symposium" every year, referred to as the "Three-Taiwan Conference".
