Columbia Global Centers Beijing answers the call of Columbia University's Fourth Purpose initiative, which seeks to advance human welfare and confront the great challenges of our time. We do this by leveraging the scientific research capabilities of the University and promoting their realization within the Columbia community in the region we serve.
