More information about China

Within Leiden University there are several colleagues and groups to whom you can turn for more information on (cooperation with) China.

• Regional coordinator China
  The regional coordinator, Annemarie Montulet, is the centrally appointed advisor who is available for university and LUMC staff. 

• China studies department
  University Leiden has a China studies department, unique in Europe, with scholars whose expertise is in high demand by national and international government and societal entities.

• Representative China region group
  Almost every faculty has a representative in the university-wide China region group. This is an academic staff member with years of experience in working with Chinese partners in that field. He/she can be a source of information on ethics practice in that field, on the do’s and don’ts and on academic publishing in the field and what China has to offer in this field in particular. 

• Leiden Asia Centre
  The Leiden Asia Centre (LAC) focuses on sharing the expertise of the university with society. LAC publishes reports by Leiden Asia scholars and organizes debates with major societal stakeholders. Their latest report on sustainable collaboration with China is a must-read for academics working with China. Another important source of information is a Checklist for working with Chinese universities, drafted on the request of the Dutch ministries of foreign affairs.
