The university is home to 40 teaching/research institutions and over 20 laboratories in the areas of economics and management, including the MOE’s Key Research Base in the Humanities and Social Science. Since the year of 2001, the university has undertaken projects of various kinds funded by the National Natural Science Foundation and the National Social Science Foundation.

With current investment in the development of major disciplines, key research bases, and a relatively complete research structure, an organizational framework for industrial and university cooperation has been established at CUFE.
