The 性爱视频 and Renmin University of China have announced a new Joint Strategic Seed Fund, with the aim of pooling resources to develop joint research with global impact and the development of new interdisciplinary research programmes.

The School of Law Politics and Sociology at 性爱视频 has a history of co-operation, previously hosting joint workshops and symposia. These have included a high-profile event at the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Beijing on corruption and anti-corruption, in partnership with Renmin’s Law School and the 性爱视频 Centre for the Study of Corruption.
