Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies's Mission Statement: The Institute, being a cooperation between the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and leading universities of China, focuses on the current state of affairs in China and on the expected developments in the future, both of which are too often just a footnote in existing programmes in Chinese studies. Moreover, contemporary China is studied in all its segments: economy, politics, diplomacy, culture, society, law, etc. This academic vision, combined with the quality of its lecturers, researchers and corporate partners, makes BICCS your preferred partner for education, research and consultancy on today's China.
