The Department of Social Sciences of the Ministry of Education recently announced the 2025 list of approved General Projects for Humanities and Social Sciences Research. Two projects submitted by Professor Yanli CHEN and Associate Professor Jia GUO from school of Accounting have been successfully approved.

The Ministry of Education Humanities and Social Sciences Research Project is a key research initiative established by the Ministry of Education for universities nationwide. It enjoys broad academic recognition and social influence in the field of humanities and social sciences and has become a critical indicator for measuring the research capabilities of higher education institutions in these disciplines. The successful approval of the projects by the two faculty members represents a significant achievement resulting from the Faculty's long-standing emphasis on philosophy and social sciences research, its continuous efforts to consolidate research strengths, active construction of high-level research platforms, and comprehensive enhancement of the quality of research project applications. In recent years, the Faculty has gradually established and refined a "five-in-one" three-dimensional research activity system, achieving the normalization and full participation of research activities. Looking ahead, the Faculty will continue to strengthen its research services and management capabilities through extensive mobilization and early planning, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of humanities and social sciences research.
