Fudan-UC Center on China
The University of California is partnering with Fudan University in Shanghai, China to establish a new center on China to launch this year to foster academic exchange and collaborative research on China. The center, a first-of-its-kind internationalization initiative made by a major Chinese university, will be located on the campus of the University of California, San Diego, hosted by the campus’ School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS).
Although the center will have its headquarters at UC San Diego, it will serve all UC researchers on the 10 campuses. The Fudan-UC center will include a library of books and journals produced by faculty at Fudan and databases on Chinese society studies and economy. Planned activities will include regular lectures and research colloquia on China involving faculty from various UC campuses.
Fudan University, which is host to the UC’s Education Abroad Program, is a top university in China, ranked 11 by academic reputation in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) 2012 Asia University Ranking.
The center will work closely with IR/PS’s 21st Century China Program, which serves as an international hub for policy-relevant research and for interactive and scholarly engagement with China.
Planning for this new center is currently underway. Please check back in September for more information.
