About the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies (CCCS)

Established in 2013 within the Asia Institute at the Faculty of Arts, the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies (CCCS) is a leading hub for research and engagement on China. The Centre plays a pivotal role in shaping an Australian perspective on contemporary China, providing rigorous, research-based insights into Chinese societies, economies, and transformations in the twenty-first century.

CCCS is dedicated to advancing high-quality research, teaching, and public engagement at the University of Melbourne. Its mission is to deepen understanding of China’s ongoing changes and their impacts both within China and globally. As a key partner in Australia–China academic collaboration, CCCS fosters strong institutional ties with top Chinese universities and serves as Melbourne’s focal point for scholarship on contemporary China.
