In light of the coronavirus situation in China and related travel advisories, the University of Chicago Center in Beijing will remain closed until March 9. The decision of when to re-open the center will be based on the developing situation, with the paramount goal of maintaining the safety of our faculty, students, staff and visitors. The University remains committed to the research, education, academic collaborations, and community partnerships that our Center in Beijing makes possible, and we look forward to the resumption of activities as soon as conditions allow.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
The University of Chicago Center in Beijing provides a physical presence to enhance and strengthen the University’s traditionally strong ties to Chinese thought and culture. Building upon more than a century of collaboration between scholars from Chicago and China, the Center in Beijing enables the University to expand existing activities and form new alliances and partnerships with universities, businesses, medical centers, policy groups, government agencies, and cultural organizations in China.
