FOR APAC INTERNATIONAL ASIA KNOW-HOW SUMMER SCHOOL 2024
Welcome to the FOR APAC International Asia Know-How Summer School!
INTRODUCTION
The Forum Asia Pacific (FOR APAC) continues the long summer school tradition of the former China Centre at the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS), which initiated its China Know-How Summer School for students from universities in Austria and other European countries in 1999 together with the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet (EPU).
Two years ago, the former China Centre was transformed into the Asia-Pacific Forum in order to include more countries from the Asia-Pacific region and to strengthen the scientific aspects of teaching and research projects in this area. During the Covid years and post-Covid period, this summer school – formerly known as China Know-How Summer School – could not be held for five years. This year, we are very pleased to relaunch our summer school – now called‘FOR APAC International Asia Know-How Summer School’ – in Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai, PR China.
The Summer School invites students from our university as well as international students from other universities and universities of applied sciences to participate in order to promote a broader exchange between students from different parts of the world. We are looking forward to welcoming students to our summer school and to jointly address important topics of our globalised world in China. The FOR APAC International Asia Know-How Summer School 2024 offers an exciting programme that will take place from 17 August to 8 September 2024 (long version) in Beijing (Peking University), Xi’an (Xi’an International Studies University) and Shanghai or from 17 August to 31 August in Beijing at Peking University (short version).
The Summer School will deal with various China- and Asia-related topics in today’s globalised world. These topics also correspond to the four guiding principles of the Paris-Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS): Art in Context, Digital Life, Development & Sustainability and Health & Mind. The aim of the FOR APAC International Asia Know-How Summer School is to impart knowledge for a deeper understanding of China and Asia in line with the above-mentioned four guiding principles of the PLUS. Topics from the fields of history, politics, law, economics, philosophy, sociology, sustainability & development, interculturality, literature, art, music, etc. will be covered. In addition, there will be expert discussions with representatives of the Austrian foreign trade offices in the People’s Republic of China, with banking experts and lawyers, as well as visits to joint venture companies and excursions to historically relevant locations.
