Academic Mission
学术使命
The Global China Academy (GCA) is dedicated to globally selecting and awarding fellows, among others, to promote advanced research on China in the fields of social sciences and humanities. Emphasizing language-based, global, and comparative perspectives, our academic mission is to enhance and contribute to the collective understanding of China’s complex cultural, social, and historical tapestry. We achieve this through encourage rigorous academic research, fostering intellectual exchange, and cultivating a scholarly community dedicated to unbiased inquiry and scholastic excellence.
Through our publishing subsidiary, Global Century Press (GCP), we uphold this mission by disseminating high-caliber scholarly work. GCP serves as an essential and independent platform for publishing uncensored and peer-reviewed journals and books, further bridging knowledge gaps between China and the international community. Our academic pursuits are rooted in creating a nuanced, comprehensive dialogue that shapes and informs global perspectives on China.
Social Mission
社会使命
The social mission of the Global Chinese Academy (GCA) is to transcend academia to promote understanding and cooperation between China and the rest of the world. It is committed to encouraging young political and business leaders to participate in dialogue and training them to play a significant role in society building and governance within the global society, based on informed knowledge.
- The Global China Dialogues (GCDs), our annual forum, provide a dynamic discourse platform to realize our commitment. These dialogues are designed to encourage communication and foster relationships among scholars, policymakers, business leaders, and the public from China and the global stage. In doing so, we aim to contribute to the construction of a more integrated, inclusive, and enlightened global community. Public engagement, knowledge transfer, and social consultancy are key components of our approach to ensuring that research impacts practice and contributes to the betterment of global society.
