Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Mr. Tan Kah-Kee, a well-known overseas Chinese leader. It is located in the resort-like island of Xiamen in Southeastern China, which has a reputation of being the “Garden over the Sea” and has convenient direct flight connections to major Asian cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Manila, and Bangkok. Thanks to the contribution and influence of the late president, Professor Wang Yanan, a prominent economist in China and the Chinese translator of Karl Marx's Das Kapital, Economics at Xiamen University has been among the very top programs in China. The School of Economics at Xiamen University (http://se.xmu.edu.cn) is the first school of economics set up in China, and the Wang Yanan Institute for Studies in Economics (WISE; http://www.wise.xmu.edu.cn) is a newly established institute at Xiamen University, focusing on frontier research in modern economics and intensive international academic exchanges as well as policy researches.

 

We look forward to meeting you in Xiamen in June 2010.
