The 15th Edition of the Summer Institute in China 2020 – Executive Education Training Program is organized by West Virginia University, Department of Public Administration (WV, USA), gLAWcal – Global Law Initiatives for Sustainable Development (United Kingdom) to be held in Beijing (China) with two curricula from July 4 to August 1, 2020 (IP-China and SICCEP).
The first curriculum is called “Summer Institute on Climate Change and Environmental Protection” (SICCEP) or more precisely Law, Policy, Economics and Technology on Climate Change and Environmental issues: European and Chinese Perspectives. It addresses issues such as energy policies, environment law and sustainable development, intellectual property and technology innovation. The second curriculum is called “Summer Institute on Intellectual Property Rights and China” (IP-China). The participants will decide to enroll in all the scheduled courses and seminars will receive the certificates for both curricula. It is an innovative program that takes into account the training demands of young professionals on these issues, drawing on relevant curricula received from international organizations and the private sector representatives.
The Summer Institute has also a second and third term but just with one curriculum and two week program: from July 4 to July 18, 2020 (IP-China) and from July 18 to August 1, 2020 (SICCEP). The third and fourth terms are mostly addressed to professionals who can not invest more than two weeks in China. By the way, for having a deeper understanding of such a country like China one month is the length more commonly suggested. The professionals who attend one curriculum during the edition 2020 will have special access to the second curriculum on the following edition 2021.
Previous editions of the program and both the curricula were approved by the Italian National Bar Association (Rome) with 24 credits valid for lawyers and practicing lawyers.
For undergraduate and graduate students, based on the number of hours of lecturers, preparatory academic materials and practical activities, this one month summer school can be considered equivalent to a specialization or master program of at least one semester.
This program is organized in partnership with University of Calgary Law School (Canada), University of Provence Aix Marseille I – CNRS Centre of Comparative Epistemology and Ergology (France), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain), University of Eastern Piedmont Faculty of Economics (Italy), University of Pavia, Faculty of Law (Italy), University of Verona, Department of Law (Italy)
