“The academic cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Netherlands is a mutual learning process from which we have benefited enormously and learnt a great deal from our Dutch colleagues. They are intelligent, diligent, open-minded, flexible, and persistent in their pursuit of perfection and excellence. We enjoy cooperating with them very much and look forward to continuing our fruitful cooperation in the future.” Ms Zhang Lihua, Director European Division, Bureau of International Cooperation, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences
“Renowned for its high-quality, open-minded teaching and research, the Netherlands has become a very important destination country in Europe for scholars and students sponsored by the China Scholarship Council. So far, the Council has established formal partnerships with a number of Dutch institutions, including KNAW and NWO, and publicly funded research universities. The expectation is that both parties will take full advantage of these excellent connections, share the benefits of joint activities, and encourage long-term collaboration between the two countries.” Ms Yang Xinyu, Deputy Secretary-General European Affairs, China Scholarship Council
