Berggruen China Center 5-Year Report

Report

5-Year Anniversary

The Berggruen Institute was established to think, address, and develop ideas around the key issues that affect us as humans. Any important question today has to be addressed not only from the Western perspective, but also from the perspective of China. That’s why we have a center in America, a center in China, and a center in Europe.

— Nicolas Berggruen, Chairman and Founder, Berggruen Institute

Our research themes address global concerns through a multidisciplinary lens. We have positioned our Center not as a traditional “think tank,” but as a “think reactor,” bringing together thinkers of diverse cultural and disciplinary backgrounds to generate and develop innovative ideas and fresh thinking that are increasingly necessary in an era of great transformations.

— Song Bing, Co-Director, Berggruen Research Center, Peking University Senior Vice President, Berggruen Institute
