The Universities’ China Committee in London (UCCL) is an educational grant-giving charitable trust established in 1925 and formalised by Royal Charter in 1932. Its mission is to provide for a two-way flow of academic exchange between China and the UK, and to encourage China-focused studies in the UK.
The UCCL awards grants to Chinese scholars who seek to make research visits to the UK or UK-based scholars working on, or studying, relevant subjects at UK universities who wish to undertake visits to China for specific research or lecture reasons. The trust also supports academic conferences and the promotion and teaching of Chinese and other Chinese studies in the UK.
