“China Networking Event” – 19 March 2019 – 4:00 – 8:00 pm – Het Pand, Ghent
February 27, 2019 Category Activities supported by FCCC, Weekly
On 19 March, the China Platform of Ghent University and the Chinese Student and Scholar Association of Ghent University (ChiSAG) will jointly organize a China Networking Event in Het Pand from 4:00 until 8:00 pm. Apart from our students, staff and professors, also external members from the public authorities, business world and media will be invited.
The aim of this event is to put the spotlight on our China cooperation of the most recent years in a more informal way and we would like to offer the opportunity to the members of the Strategic Partnership China (Province of East Flanders, City of Ghent, FCCC and North Sea Port) to give a survey of the developments in their cooperation with China.
At the same time, we want to create a unique opportunity for the staff and professors of Ghent University, who do not yet have a cooperation with China, to get to know this country in all her aspects.
China remains a hot topic in our media and consequently, we think it would be an ideal moment to put China in the spotlight in our own open-minded manner with the motto of Ghent University “Dare to Think” in the back of our mind.
Mr. Stefan Blommaert will come to present his new book “De Eeuw van Xi”.
