The C9 League (simplified Chinese: 九校联盟; traditional Chinese: 九校聯盟; pinyin: Jiǔxiào Liánméng) is an association of nine Chinese universities, which were selected by the Chinese government in 1998.
On May 4, 1998, Project 985 was initiated by the Chinese government in order to advance the higher education system. In the first phase, nine universities were selected and allocated funding for the first period of three years. On October 10, 2009, these nine universities created the C9 League. The universities collectively account for 3% of the country's researchers but receive 10% of national research expenditures, and produce the lion's share of output, generating 20% of the country's journal articles and 30% of total citations.[1]
