YNU constructs national philosophy, social sciences platforms

In 2023, Yunnan University (YNU) made new progress in the construction of national platforms in the field of philosophy and social sciences.

As one of the 14 pilot units, Yunnan University, along with other universities such as the Communication University of China and Peking University, jointly established the International Communication Joint Research Institute.

With backing from the Ministry of Education, construction of a philosophy and social science laboratory at the university has been steadily advancing. In March, the laboratory publicly released the first-phase data of an investigation into Chinese-funded enterprises involved in the "Belt and Road" Initiative, established a virtual data platform, and set up a local area network to enable online access to the investigation data for both on-campus and off-campus users. A total of 12 advisory reports were written by the laboratory on issues such as China-Vietnam relations and the China-Laos railway.

In October, the laboratory takes part in the fifth Microeconomic Data and Economic Innovation Forum. [Photo/ynu.edu.cn]

Various survey teams conducted in-depth investigations in 346 villages throughout Southwest China's Yunnan province, involving 875 teachers and students from 18 universities. Six research reports on consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation were published in "Reform Reference", which is under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission.
