Project 985 Universities
Project 985(code-named after the date Year 98 Month 5) is aimed at supporting, in cooperation with local government, a number of top universities to become outstanding world-wide. A large part of the funding in this project goes to academic exchange, allowing Chinese academics to participate in conferences abroad, and bringing foreign lecturers to China. In the initial phase, 9 universities were included in the project. The second phase, launched in 2004, expanded the program until it has now reached almost 40 universities.
