July 31 – Collaborations, cultural exchanges, and new opportunities for the University of Macerata and Beijing Normal University. The two institutions continue their joint research program with delegation of teachers and graduate students from Beijing Normal University received by Macerata University dean, Luigi Lacchè. The group will spend a month in Italy, in Macerata and Ancona, to study commercial relations between Italy – and, more generally Europe – and China, as part of the European projects “Poreen” and “Chetch “, both included in the Marie Curie program. At the same time, graduate students from the University of Macerata have already spent or are still spending a study period in China.
