The China Association College, founded in October 2005, draws its inspiration from the tradition of the University Colleges that have hosted the foreign students studying at the Alma Mater-University of Bologna ever since its foundation in 1088.
The China Association College has 12 founding partners who represent the most important administrative, cultural, economic, entrepreneurial and social institutions of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
Orientation and Welcoming of Chinese students
The chief aim is to inform and orient the Chinese students who choose to study at the University of Bologna by means of the presence of two native-speaking Chinese tutors, one for Bologna University Campus, one for Forlì, Rimini, Ravenna and Cesena University Campus.
Scholarships and relations with institutions and businesses
The China Association College makes some scholarships available each year for the most deserving Chinese students, and together with its associates, organises periods of training at institutions or companies in our Region.
Organisation of services to institutions and businesses
The Association China College, through the initiatives of its own associates, will set up some activities to foster the promotion of economic relations and industrial collaboration between Italy and China. Specific programmes will be started up, addressed managers, entrepreneurs and Chinese and Italian professionals, which will take the shape of training courses, theme-based in-depth seminars, placements and traineeships addressed to supporting and enhancing the relations between the Italian and the Chinese business communities.
Post-Graduate Courses
The China Association College participates in the drafting and setting up of post-graduate training courses addressed to both European and Chinese students. These courses can also be devised and set up together with the Chinese Universities with which the University of Bologna has underwritten exchange programmes.
Cultural pathways to integration
The China Association College, together with the University of Bologna, organises various events in order to allow the Chinese students to get to know the characteristics of the social, economic and cultural context of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
Research
The China Association College tries to foster the development of research in the various disciplinary sectors between Italian and Chinese researchers.
Cultural initiatives
The China Association College, besides fostering the exchanges among students and researchers, promotes initiatives along with the cultural institutions (e.g. seminars, conferences, congresses, exhibitions, events) in order to publicise the Chinese cultural reality in Italy and the Italian cultural reality in China.
