Training Program in China

October is usually the time for VIU visiting China to participate in a number of training courses organized there and conceived as introductory to the Italian sessions. But the visit is also the occasion for meeting VIU Chinese friends, a friendship that has been growing for more than 10 years.

This year visit is a very special one as VIU Dean Professor Agar Brugiavini will be leading it. It is special also because it includes the first training course that VIU organizes in partnership with the Chinese Ministry of Innovation and Information Technology (MIIT), which only recently joined the Sino-Italian Advanced Training Program. The VIU_MIIT training course will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and will follow the trainings with CASS, MOST and Beijing Municipality in Beijing, and the one with the Shanghai Municipality in Shanghai.

According to the SICP tradition, the training course with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) will open the VIU_CASS Training Program 2013-2014. The session in Beijing will gather the 160 Chinese participants that will come to Italy in 4 different training sessions, respectively in November and December 2013 and in February and March 2014.

The Training Programs envisaged for the year 2014 will be discussed with the other Training partners in specific technical meetings in which the proposed topics for next year's program will be discussed in details. Such methodology offers VIU the possibility to better target the agendas of the different Training sessions.
