The Institute of Cross-Cultural Studies

The Institute of Cross-Cultural Studies (ICCS) was established in 2006 under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, BNU-HKBU United International College (UIC). The mission and vision of ICCS are to conduct research in the field of humanities and social sciences in cross-cultural perspective, to organize seminars, workshops, and visiting programmes.

• To foster research in FHSS

  The ICCS seeks to develop a culture of research by conducting sharing events, guest lectures, workshops, conferences and working groups.

• To develop communication, networks, and publicity

  Communication builds motivation and develops potential collaboration between members, but also can build links between UIC faculty members and outside institutions and organizations. Communication and visibility will be established by establishing a website, a newsletter, and building links with other research institutes.

• To promote creativity across cultures

  Research begins with creativity. ICCS will host and support creative production in the Arts for both FHSS students and faculty.
