This fellowship was established to support young scholar to engage in in-depth fieldwork in the humanities and social sciences. Hundreds of Chinese students in China and abroad from diverse fields applied for this fellowship – a small research grant awarded to 15 PGR students - which was organised this year by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China.
