The Institute of Philosophy in Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIP) was 
established to meet the urgent need in China to develop foundational, 
philosophical, and ethical research on science and technology. In the 
midst of rapid advances in science and technology, China needs to promote 
and invest in humanities that are relevant and fully international. As a 
full capacity international institution of research and postgraduate 
education in philosophy, CASIP emphasizes interdisciplinary research 
between philosophy and science. CASIP aims to foster collaborative 
research projects between philosophy and science and promote innovative 
projects of foundational research in basic sciences and on philosophical, 
social, and ethical issues in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary scientific 
research/areas. CASIP will be initially housed in the University of 
Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). CASIP will develop into a full-fledged 
institute of philosophy in Chinese Academy of Sciences that covers all 
aspects of research and postgraduate education in the intersection between 
philosophy and science.

CASIP comprises five centers: the Center for Logic and Philosophy of 
Mathematics, the Center for Philosophy of Physical Sciences, the Center 
for Philosophy of Biological Sciences, the Center for Philosophy of 
Intelligence and Cognitive Science, and the Center for Science and Values.

The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is a major university in 
Chinese higher education.  It has four campuses in the Beijing area, three 
located within the city of Beijing and one in the suburb by the beautiful 
Yanqi Lake. For more information, see http://english.ucas.ac.cn. For
