International relations are shifting as multilateral trade and cooperation are being renegotiated between countries, such as the US and the UK, and trade blocks. Meanwhile, China is launching the New Silk Road, or One Belt One Road Initiative, that could potentially span and integrate major parts of the world across Eurasia. Based on the international research project on the New Silk Road, this course will explore how these changing relationships are affecting academic cooperation and what opportunities this opens for universities, students, and researchers.

The New Silk Road: Connecting students and universities from China and Europe Summer School was held at Utrecht University, Netherlands from August 19 to 23, 2019. Co-organized by Utrecht University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the summer school was aimed to explore how the Belt and Road Initiative of China affects cooperation between Chinese and European universities.
