The first online EU-China Winter School 2021 hosted by the Centre International de Formation Européenne (CIFE) was held from Feb 1 to 5, with participation from students of various majors at Yunnan University (YNU) – a long-term partner of CIFE.

With the theme of "Understanding European integration: institutions and laws," the event invited well-known professors from France, Germany and Greece and representatives of EU institutions to offer classes about EU history, EU institutions, EU law and China-EU relations, among other categories.

Students also visited the EU commission and council online after classes.

In addition to improving the student's English listening and speaking skills, a credit recognized by the EU was also provided to students who participated in the five-day program. Those who plan to study in EU countries or partake in short-term exchanges can use the credits.

It is the eighth year that the winter school program has been held and the first time it has been held online – due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

CIFE was founded in 1954 and is headquartered in Nice, France. It is a non-profit higher education and research institution.
