On March 19th, the Shandong Federation of Social Science Circles hosted a special seminar on private social science research institutes. Participants indicated that private research institutes in the social sciences are independent, autonomous and flexible, and that the birth and the development of private social science research institutes satisfies the practical needs of economic and social development in China. In contrast to public universities and academic research institutes, private social science research institutes are better equipped to serve social and economic development directly.
