Nowadays, more and more Chinese students and scholars are coming to study and work in the Netherlands. The information on law, culture, job opportunities both in the Netherlands and in China became the hot points of this lecture. The discussions during lunch breaks and after the lecture also improved the communication. "I learned a lot from the lectures", according to one of the Chinese students. For the students who can not attend the event, the slides and videos of the presentations will be upload online (provided by the ACSSNL organisation). And more events like this are highly appreciated and anticipated by the students.
