Lancaster University China Centre (LUCC)

Description

Lancaster University China Centre provides an international platform to tackle global challenges through multi-disciplinary China expertise.

The Centre acts as a focal point at Lancaster University for people interested in China and its relations with UK and the rest of the world. It focuses on the big global challenges that face the world, where solutions cannot be found unless China’s role is taken into account and combine tools and knowledge from a range of disciplines to understand it.

Research areas include:

• Environmental sustainability
• Transport, communications and infrastructure
• Cultural emergence, exchange and governance

Informed by the highest quality academic research, the Centre’s activities deliver significantly improved understanding of China in its global context. The application of this understanding supports the improvement of living conditions, welfare and the environment in China, the UK, and internationally. The Centre builds on Lancaster University’s position as one of the first British universities to undertake academic cooperation with China, and with a physical presence through the Lancaster University College in Shandong province, to collaborate closely and on an equal footing with partners in China.

The Centre provides resources for enhancing mutual understanding between China, the UK, and other parts of the world, for scholars, government, industry, charities, teachers, students, and publics.
