Fudan Hungary and Its Contexts
We are happy to announce the joint event “Fudan Hungary and Its Contexts” which took place Monday 5 July. In this roundtable discussion, panelists Maria Adele Carrai, David Goodman, Simon Marginso, and discussants Sigrun Abels (WG 4 member), Wolfgang Röhr (WG 4 member) and Ágnes Szunomár (WG1 leader) discussed the Hungarian government’s plans to set up a Fudan University branch campus in Budapest. The discussion was moderated by Pál Nyíri (WG 5 leader).
The roundtable discussion is organized jointly by the CEU Democracy Institute and the China-in-Europe Research Network (CHERN). You can watch the recording of the discussion until Monday 19th July here.

Opportunity to apply for a STSM on Chinese financial institutions in Europe!
Would you like to work on a research project on Chinese financial institutions in Europe with Prof. Anna Lupina-Wegener at the School of Management and Engineering Vaud, HES-SO in Switzerland? A new round of applications for this opportunity is open! The objectives of the project are to: - Identify Chinese banks and Chinese financial institutions in Europe (including UK and Switzerland);
- Develop network and off-the-record discussions with relevant stakeholders and;
- List the key databases of such institutions in Europe.
The project needs to take place in September 2021 (the exact timing will be determined together with the host institution), the final report needs to be submitted by 30 September and includes a two week stay at the School of Management and Engineering of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. The new deadline to apply for the STSM “Chinese financial institutions in Europe” is 20 July.

Training School computational social science methods in qualitative China research
China in Europe Network (CHERN) together with the Nordic Institute for Asian Studies (NIAS) will arrange training in the use of computational social science methods in qualitative China research, in order to make the methods better known among European China scholars. CHERN member organizer of the Training School Outi Luova would like to collect your preferences regarding the content of the training. Please fill out this survey before 10th August. More information
This initiative responds to two recent developments. Firstly, the exponential expansion in the amount of accessible digital materials, and secondly, the increasing difficulties to travel and conduct field research in China due to various reasons such as the pandemic. Furthermore, the use of big data and computational research methods are highly interesting as they enable researchers to utilize new datasets and ask novel research questions.
The aim is to organize two types of events:
1) Online webinar(s) in late October 2021 to provide basic introductions about the opportunities that computational research methods provide for the study of contemporary China
2) Training workshop (2 or 3 days) in early March 2022 at NIAS at the University of Copenhagen.
The contents of the training workshop will be planned so that the participants do not need to have any previous knowledge of programming languages (such as Python or R). However, it would be good if they knew something about coding.
