Yunnan University wins 40 national social science fund projects

The National Philosophy and Social Science Work Office recently announced the list of projects approved by the National Social Science Fund in 2022. Yunnan University has received funding for 40 projects, including 25 annual and seven western ones, as well as eight focused on youth.

In terms of the distribution of project-approved disciplines, 16 disciplines of Yunnan University have been approved this year. Among them are ethnology and political science, the ace disciplines in the field of humanities and social sciences of the university; this year the number of political science projects approved surpassed those of ethnology for the first time, showing a strong momentum of development.

The university conducted targeted training sessions on application of scientific research projects, cultivated the scientific research ability of young teachers, and contributed to the new round of "first-class universities and disciplines" construction – major strategic decisions made by the State Council.

Next, in the new round of that construction, Yunnan university will identify the pain points and difficulties in the development of the humanities and social sciences, and focus on supporting disciplines and colleges that have difficulties in applying scientific research.
