As the first academic institution established by a major Chinese university in cooperation with a leading U.S. university, the Fudan-UC Center has paved the way for contemporary China studies and a deeper mutual understanding between the United States and China.
The center, which opened its doors on the campus of UC San Diego in fall 2012, connects all ten campuses of the University of California system with Fudan University in Shanghai and brings together leading research scholars from both universities for conferences, lectures and collaborative research.
In celebration of this groundbreaking international effort, Yang Yu-liang, president of Fudan University, and several senior members of the administration visited the UC San Diego campus last week where they explored the campus, interacted with scholars and met with UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla.

The new center will focus on China studies and will be located on the campus of UC San Diego
Fudan University in Shanghai, China is partnering with the University of California to establish a Fudan-UC center to foster academic exchange and collaborative research on China. The center, a first-of-its-kind internationalization initiative made by a major Chinese university, will be located on the campus of the University of California, San Diego, hosted by the campus’ School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS).
“This center will provide superb opportunities for students in Chinese studies at the University of California,” said UC President Mark G. Yudof. “Besides the many long-term benefits for faculty, students and researchers across the UC system, it will cement our relationship with one of the University’s most valuable partners in China.”
