The Zhuhai Federation of Social Sciences “12th Five-Year Plan” for Philosophy and Social Science Research Funding 2014 will be granting resources for five UIC projects. The Federation also funded five UIC projects in 2013.
UIC submitted seven projects this year with Prof Johnston Wong’s being a key project. Among an overall total of 195 successful applications, the Federation decided on only 20 as key projects.
In recent years, UIC has achieved tremendous growth in the field of philosophy and social science research. UIC’s Research Office believes this is important to widen the influence of the College, and encourages more staff members to make research efforts to contribute to the development of Zhuhai.
