Of these, 125 outstanding projects were selected for the final round.

In the social sciences field, NEU submitted 25 projects. Following the preliminary round involving 300 projects, 60 were selected for the final round, including 11 from NEU.

With these results, NEU continues to lead higher education institutions in economics and business administration nationwide, affirming its reputation and the quality of its education while making a strong mark in student scientific research.
