The Center promoted legal research cooperation at a Pure Finland event in Beijing

In autumn 2014 the capital of China, Beijing, was hit by a series events related to Finland and organized by Team Finland. Pure Finland events will present several aspects of Finland: its dynamic consumer brands; attractive options for tourists, investors and students; latest scientific and technological innovations; unique cultural creations and many others.

The University of Helsinki has been invited, as one of the main partners, to organize a Pure Finland event that promoted the higher education and research. The Science in Dialogue event was jointly hosted by Peking University and the University of Helsinki on the 26th of November 2014.

The event aimed to find solutions to global challenges by joining the efforts of both Finnish and Chinese scholars. Leading researchers from both universities shared their views and inspiration on the following key topics: rule of law, cleaner air for all and the future of learning.

As the event focused also on legal research and education, the Center has been naturally invited to actively contribute. Although, the main topics were criminal law, environmental law and labor law, the results and achievements of other already existing research projects, carried out jointly by Finnish and Chinese scholars, were made visible.
