GC Outreach in China

In November 2014, Nils Saniter and Yun Cao visited 9 top faculties of economics in Beijing and Shanghai, China, to support the DIW Graduate Center become more well-known internationally. At world class universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University they presented the GC to audiences of interested graduate students. Moreover, the GC participated in a DAAD delegation of German universities to the international PhD Workshop in Beijing. At this occasion, more than 50 potential GC applicants were offered individual information meetings. This trip belongs to our outreach efforts to increase the visibility of the GC outside Germany and to attract top qualified international students.
