To further expand the university’s international scientific research cooperation network, deepen exchanges and collaboration with high-level international research institutes, and better serve national development strategies as well as the economic and social development of the Liaoning region, Liaoning University (LNU) recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The two sides will carry out cooperation in areas such as academic exchanges, scientific research collaboration, and academic resource sharing.
The Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INION RAN) was established in 1969, with its academic origins tracing back to 1918. It is a key research institution within the Russian Academy of Sciences system engaged in social sciences and humanities research, providing long-term academic information and research support to research institutions and universities.
The Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a significant social sciences and humanities research institution in both Russian and international academic circles. Its publications cover monographs, analytical reports, abstract collections, bibliographies, academic journals, and briefings. The institute currently publishes various academic journals, 16 of which are included in the list of journals recommended by the Russian Federation’s Higher Attestation Commission. The institution also maintains a relatively comprehensive basic research library and digital bibliographic resources.
Previously, in November 2025, Olga Lavreonva, Chief Researcher at the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was invited to the university for exchanges. She delivered an academic report on the theme of cultural landscape studies for faculty and students, promoting academic communication and mutual understanding between the two sides.
