In 2016 the UK-China Humanities Alliance (UKCHA) was founded as a cross-institutional structure to facilitate collaboration in humanities research and education. The alliance brings together scholars from leading universities in China and the UK in mutually respectful dialogue and intellectual exchange. We are currently the lead UK institution in UKCHA, with responsibility for liaising with the Secretariat based at Tsinghua University, co-organising joint workshops and conferences and helping to coordinate UKCHA activity in the UK. As part of this work, Exeter oversees the (Re-)Connecting Research in China grant to support collaborative research across the Alliance, as well as Early Career Researcher fellowship opportunities. Our work fosters global engagement, mutual understanding and trust, and ensures we are more innovative and connected than ever before.
