Institute for a Community with Shared Future
The Institute for a Community with Shared Future (人類命運共同體研究院) at Communication University of China (ICSF-CUC) was established in November 2019. The institute says it focuses on promoting the “community of shared future for mankind” concept — a central element of Xi Jinping’s foreign policy discourse that emphasizes state-centered approaches to international cooperation — through communication research and global governance studies. The institute’s work includes producing research reports, organizing cultural exchange activities, and running a doctoral program in global governance and communication for international students. The institute had established seven overseas research centers and co-founded what it describes as an international academic network with universities across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The institute has organized annual international think tank forums for five years, with its 2025 forum receiving UNESCO authorization for use of the agency’s logo and association with the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.
