This week has been very important in the life of the Center! Our main Chinese partner has reaffirmed its commitment. Furthermore, the Center’s collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg, which started during the visit of Dr Pissler, Head of the China Unit, bore its first fruits.
Deputy Director of CASS, Institute of Law, Professor Chen Su, visited Helsinki as he traveled to Europe to speak at the seminar “Employee Participation and Collective Bargaining in the Era of Globalization”. Both in Helsinki and Hamburg, Professor Chen has underlined the importance of the Center in Sino-Finnish cooperation and reaffirmed his commitment to future research activities. Professor Chen Su satisfaction with the ongoing collaboration and his promise to ensure its further growth have been restated in a news entry available on the CASS, Institute of Law website.
The first seminar organized by the Academy of Finland Research Project ‘Employee Participation and Collective Bargaining in the Era of Globalization – Nordic and Chinese Perspectives’ with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law has been very successful and has deepened the collaboration between Finnish, Chinese and European scholars. This sentiment has been shared also by Professors Liukkunen, Basedow and Chen Su, who would like to publish all papers presented at the seminar as a book. The volume in English is to appear in 2015 with the publisher Mohr Siebeck in the “Beiträge zum ausländischen und internationalen Privatrecht”-series. Moreover, Professor Chen Su is also planning to prepare a Chinese version of the book.
