The Chinese Studies Center at the University of Salzburg was founded in 1999 with the aim of deepening cultural relations between Austria and China, in particular between the University of Salzburg and Chinese universities or other educational institutions in China, as well as to support scientific cooperation and projects. Besides activities and programs such as language courses, summer schools, a lecture series, the Agorá, and intercultural briefings, the Chinese Studies Center aims, by means of ancillary cultural activities, at fostering a mutual understanding between the people of East Asia and Europe as well as building a bridge between these cultures.
Since the year 2002, the Chinese Studies Center of the Paris-Lodron-University of Salzburg (PLUS) in cooperation with the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet (EPU) has annually been organizing the Chinese-Austrian-EU Summer School.
This year, due to the worldwide pandemic situation, we have decided to organize an online version of our Chinese-Austrian-EU Summer School. This Summer School includes for the first time all countries of the EU in the program and focuses on the following main topics:
· History, politics and philosophy
· Country and culture specific topics: history of art, music, literature and folk tradition
· Economy and the relationship of the respective country to China
Duration: 12.07.2021 - 06.08.2021 Costs: 500,- Euro
As there are places left, we are now also opening our Summer School for the students of our Erasmus partner universities.
We are convinced that it might be very interesting for the students to have an exchange with Chinese students and students from other countries.
For detailed information, please find the announcement of the Summer School under this link.
We sincerely hope that this offer might meet your interest and the interest of your students.
It would be very much appreciated if you could forward this information to your students.
