FURTHER INFORMATION
CBER and its laboratory were established in 2016. In 2017, Wuhan University selected CBER as one of its priority institutions in the field of social science. We also receive strong support from the Economics and Management School of WHU: CBER and its laboratory are located in the school. CBER is actively recruiting capable faculty members to further our efforts to build a leading experimental research group in China.
For the past century, Wuhan University has built an elegant palatial architectural complex of primitive simplicity that perfectly blends the eastern architectural style with that of the west. It is recognized as the “Most Beautiful University in China.” The season of cherry blossoms within the Wuhan University campus is famous in China. We have chosen the conference timing to hopefully coincide with the peak of the blossoms. There are many excellent cultural, outdoor, and entertainment opportunities to take advantage of during your visit. We hope to seeing you in March.
