Sinological Development Charitable Foundation Limited (SDCF) was established in 2013 by Dr. Elizabeth Woo Li (Philosophy) to encourage the spread of Chinese Studies as an important part of a rising global civilization that should include the fundamental value of the Chinese spirit. Through its activities, SDCF aims to further worldwide awareness and knowledge of Chinese culture and civilization and to enhance the role of Greater China as a major platform for the global promotion of Sinology. Since summer 2016, SDCF has been holding the Greater China Summer Workshop Program in Chinese Studies with the main aim of introducing Chinese Studies to scholars and key opinion leaders around the world who are in other disciplines.
