The 14th edition of the TOChina Summer School will be held from Monday June 22 to Friday July 3, 2020.

‍

Owing to the COVID-19 epidemic, this edition of the Summer School will be held entirely online on the CISCO Webex platform.

‍

The aim of the School is to work at the intersection between China’s long-term structural transformations in socio-political, economic and cultural terms, and those particularly salient trends that are currently informing international debates on China. Moreover, the two final days of the School will be dedicated to the ChinaMed research agenda with scholars from our partner institutions.

The TOChina Summer School is suitable not only for participants wishing to study the domestic aspects of China’s politics, but also for those who intend to explore the rapidly evolving dynamics of Asian and global geopolitics and economics. For those looking for insights into future career options, the TOChina Summer School offers a unique opportunity to engage in lively debates with senior scholars who are often in charge of PhD programs in their country, and affiliated to a variety of organizations. The informal sessions participants join to acquire greater knowledge of the work of TOChina faculty members are a trademark of TOChina’s hands-on approach to the study of contemporary China.
