The Chinese University of Hong Kong - Chiang Ching Kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC)

The Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC) in December 2005, with its formal establishment taking place in 2006. Through the years, the Centre has helped the Foundation promote the study of contemporary China and encourage academic exchange among scholars at home and abroad. One of its leading achievements has been working with the Universities Service Centre for China Studies (USC; formerly the Universities Service Centre) to jointly organize the Graduate Seminar on China (GSOC), which provides great opportunities for the younger generation to learn from recognized scholars, broaden their visions, and build up their academic networks. In addition, the annual Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies, jointly organized with the Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) aims to nurture young scholars in Chinese Studies and strengthen the networks they can utilize in the future.
