The IES also takes the opportunity provided by the ESCP to perform its public service function to meet the increasing demands of knowing and better understanding Europe. For instance, it took ways of hosting “China-Europe Forum ”to gather scholars from China, Europe and US to address interests and uncertainties among these partner societies in face to upcoming challenges such as“Globalization as a new strategic environment”, ”Economic, political and security challenges facing EU, US and China”, “Responsible stakeholders”,“New norms and values for a common future”etc. The event witnessed good audience from governments and the public. During the project implementation, the IES also reached agreements with Chinese education institutions, such as Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Tsing Hua University, Peking University, Beijing Normal University and China Foreign Affairs University, on opening MA courses on ‘European integration’ and delivering the IES faculty to lecture on ‘European Model’ in these schools.
