Recently, the Social Sciences Department of the Ministry of Education announced the review results for the 2024 General Projects in Humanities and Social Sciences Research funded by the Ministry of Education. Five faculty members from the School of Management at Shandong University have received project approvals. Among them, Professors Xin Jie and Xie Jingci received funding for general projects, while Professors Hu Wen'an, Hong Ruiyang, and Chen Zhongwei received funding for youth projects. This represents a twofold increase compared to the previous year.
The General Projects in Humanities and Social Sciences Research by the Ministry of Education cover a broad spectrum of disciplines and hold significant academic influence. They serve as a critical benchmark for assessing the research capabilities of humanities and social sciences in higher education institutions. In recent years, the School has intensified its talent development efforts, fostering enthusiasm among young faculty for project applications. In 2024, youth projects accounted for 60% of the approved projects, laying a solid foundation for the School to achieve further success in securing major research grants. Looking ahead, the School will continue to implement the University's strategic initiative to promote the development of humanities and social sciences. By advancing organized research efforts and precision in service delivery, the School aims to establish a full-cycle, comprehensive and efficient research management and service system. This will provide robust support for faculty to conduct scientific research and produce more landmark achievements.
