Accommodation
Beijing
The capital of the People’s Republic of China, Beijing is the nation’s political, economic, cultural and educational center. Thanks to its geographical location, situated in northern China, close to the port of Tianjin and partially surrounded by Hebei province, the metropolis is the main transportation hub and port of entry, and serves as an important center for international trade and communications.
Beijing’s history dates back to three millennia: for centuriesit has been the heart and soul of politics and society, which makes it an attractive destination for travellers willing to explore its rich and opulent cultural heritage. At the same time, thanks to China’s impressive economic and social transformation, the capital, home to 21 million people, has become one of the most populous cities in the world and a frenetic and vibrant city buzzing with energy.
Beijing best epitomizes the exciting blend of tradition and modernity characterizing China today, and is a must-visit destination for any young mind driven by curiosity about the outside world!
Our History
The Summer Law institute has been organized since the year 2006. Thanks to the vision of the Scientific Director and Program Co-ordinator, from the first edition up to the present one, the structure of the program has strongly evolved to keep the program always up-to-date and at the highest academic and professional standards. For instance, the new SICCEP curriculum was added together with the round tables, the job fair, the internship program and the international and European collaborations.
