Education and Science

Knowledge about China is essential to understanding how this society works. Therefore, the VNC is active in spreading information about China through our communication channels and our activities in and with schools and scientific institutions.

In addition, we pay attention to scientific collaborations between our country and China and share information on socially relevant (joint) research . The VNC brings parties together and aims to be a platform where both Dutch and Chinese students can meet and learn about each other’s cultures.

The VNC also sees itself as a platform for other organizations that play a role in spreading knowledge about China. If you have an interesting education or science related topic or event, please contact us at info@vnc-china.nl
