A UK-based independent worldwide fellowship
Global China Academy
Language-based social scientific, humanities, area studies on China with global and comparative perspectives.
Global China Academy (GCA), formerly CCPN Global and Global China Institute, has registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO, Charity No. 1198983) for replacement of the existing charity (Charity No. 1154640). GCA is a UK-based independent worldwide fellowship that encourages comprehensive studies on China in the social sciences and humanities. Taking language-based comparative and global perspectives, it aims to add to the sum of human knowledge. It also encourages participation in global society building and governance. All of this is achieved through the dissemination of academic research, knowledge transfer, social consultancy and public engagement.
