The Institute of East Asian Humanities and Social Sciences Chinese Culture University

Introduction

　　The Institute of East Asian Humanities and Social Sciences (IEAHS) was founded in October 2018 at Chinese Culture University as an organization conducting research and promoting intellectual collaboration and academic exchange at an international scale.
