Recently, the National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences announced the list of approved major projects for the 2025 National Social Science Fund. The project titled "Research on International Energy Cooperation Risks and Responses Facing Southeast Asia," applied for by Professor Wei Yu of our university as the Chief Expert, was successfully approved. This represents another significant achievement in the field of philosophy and social science research at our university.

The research project focuses on the risks and response strategies of energy cooperation between China and Southeast Asia, providing precise intellectual support for national energy strategic decision-making and overseas investment practices of enterprises. It holds vital theoretical and practical significance for safeguarding China's energy security and advancing the "Belt and Road Initiative." The study is committed to constructing a comprehensive and dynamic risk analysis framework that integrates "geopolitics-market-institution-society." By utilizing social network analysis and multimodal text semantic machine learning driven by large language models (LLMs), the project aims to create a scientific "Energy Cooperation Risk Assessment Index." Ultimately, from the perspective of multi-agent synergy involving governments, enterprises, and financial institutions, it will propose a systematic risk response system covering the entire project life cycle.
